    As the title says, I would like to make a sauce which goes perfectly with gammon, I was thinking on the lines of a leek and cheese sauce, but have no idea how to do it, other recommendations are most appreciated.

    Hi Merlot,

    I would make a cheese sauce and add it to leeks that have been lightly cooked in butter or else just serve the leeks separately.

    These older threads might help:

    I think I'd fry some sliced leeks then drain off any liquid and stir into cheese sauce. Sound lovely.

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, I had a look in tesco this morning, and I've bought a packet of onion sauce mix - just to try it with the gammon. I have to admit I am completely useless at making sauces, they are always lumpy, but I will give it another go once I tried the packet one.

    What about a fried egg or a pineapple ring instead of sauce?

    I cooked gammon a couple of weeks ago. I cooked it in apple juice, so made gravy from that, and served with apple sauce :D
