Boil the gammon in a pot with aromatics including celery, carrot, onion, cloves, pepper, allspice, bay leaves, and thyme for 2 to 2.5 hours.
Remove the skin from the cooked gammon, leaving the fat layer underneath.
Mix cherry conserve, brown sugar, cinnamon, bourbon, and finely chopped ginger in a bowl.
Put the mixture into a saucepan and boil until it becomes a jammy glaze.
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Score the fat layer of the gammon with cross-hatches.
Brush the gammon with the cherry and bourbon glaze.
Roast the glazed gammon in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, optionally applying additional glaze halfway through.
