4. Leave it to cool for about an hour in the liquid
5. (If you are serving it cold, let it rest in the liquid overnight to prevent it from drying out)

7. Score the fat into diamond shapes and press a clove into the centre of each diamond and sprinkle the gammon with cake flour, patting it down loosely
