Gammon....Cooking Live Now!!!

Ok im cooking tonight ready for Christmas and first up is a Smoked Gammon Joint(bone in still)....3.3kg in weight and im going to roast it/steam it in the oven for 3hrs maybe a little longer(only needs to feed 2 adults and 3 children but im greedy).

First up i have let it stand in water for 3 hrs to take away a little of the saltiness...some do this up to 6 hrs but im ok with a bit of the salt flavor it makes all the difference.

first Pics as this is a work in progress......feel free to chip in along the way....


PS drinking is mandatory and so is having fun.
