Lift out the gammon and leave to cool slightly. Remove the rind from the gammon and score the fat in a diamond pattern. Place in a small roasting tin. Mix the mustard, sugar and honey and spread over the ham joint. Baste with a little apple juice. Pour the rest of the apple juice into the roasting tin.
