- Grilled gammon and grilled pineapple (usually tinned) is a very popular dish in England.
- Whilst doing some research I discovered that a much older idea is to have apricots with gammon.
- Apricots were very popular in Elizabethan times, when fruit and meat together were often served.
- Apricots in these dishes could have been dried apricots but here I have used tinned apricots halves.
- Apricots in Polish are morela.
- Apricots are from the Genus Prunus and they are drupes – stone fruits.

- Fruit served with meat is very popular in Poland and I think this dish would be well liked.
- Gammon slices have been used here but this dish could be adapted to use a large piece of ham or gammon.
Ingredients
- A thick piece of gammon per person
- 2 apricot halves (tinned) per person – ones in syrup are the best.
Method
- Grill the gammon on both sides.
- Drain the apricots from their juice/syrup.
- Grill the apricots.
- Serve the gammon with the apricots.
- *
- This would go well with potatoes & garden peas and/or a cabbage salad.
