- 1 small fresh pineapple
- If you really want to cheat, use canned pineapple

- 4 tablespoon muscovado sugar or jaggery
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Mise en place
Method
- Add the spices, sugar and seasoning to bowl and mix well.
- Use a Le Cruset-type dish as pictured or line a grill tray with tin-foil and turn up the edges to catch the juices.
- Sit the gammon steaks on the pineapple slices, sprinkle with ½ of the spices.
- Grill for 9 minutes.
- Turn the gammon steaks and pineapple slices over, sit the steaks on the pineapple, sprinkle with the remaining spices and grill this side for a further 9 minutes or until the gammon is properly cooked.
Serving suggestions
Serve with plain boiled rice and a green vegetable.
Variations
Go Chinese style, grind a star anise, a teaspoon of Sechuan peppercorns and a pinch of cinnamon instead of the mixed spice.
I used canned pineapple the second time I made this and left the gammon sitting in the pineapple juice and spices (refrigerated) for about 3 hours. I then grilled the gammon in this juice, as pictured.
Try this with pork loin steaks.
