Method

Put the gammon in a large pot. Cover with water and simmer for 3 hrs, or until tender.
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Drain the ham and let it cool for 10 mins. Slice off the rind, leaving a 1-2cm layer of fat. Put in a roasting tin and cut a diamond pattern into the fat.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, crushed star anise, maple syrup and mustard. Rub all over the ham, reserving a little and using it to coat the plums. Roast for 15 mins then add the plums. Roast for a further 15 mins until the ham is sticky and tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the beans. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the beans and cook for 2 mins. Drain and toss with the olive oil, hazelnuts and seasoning.
Press the remaining star anise onto the surface of the ham. Serve on a large platter with the plums and green beans.
