    I cant do this linky stuff but if you copy and paste that into google it will take you to it

    if not then just type in

    Nigella lawson aromatic christmas ham,


    we do the glaze with the Redcurrant jelly and it is just fantatsic

    I didnt think there was anything that could Top Jamies Turkey with his flavoured butter but i found that this Ham is just amazing and we struggle to only make it once a year as it is so nice but if i made it any other time than Xmas then it would lose its appeal

    we dont buy a joint with the knuckle in as i hate carving meat like that we have used a smoked ham and a non and TBH the smoked ham joint with this is better IMO than a non but the mrs liked the non smoked more so we just take turns in what one is ordered this year Its smoked so i am very happy , but in our opinion either one is just superb


    The next day with Bubble and chips it is a winner and the ham sandwiches for days after are just the nutts


    bought a 9lb ham this year
  • Mrs got our ham and a leg of lamb from Makro the other day, will have to check the weights she got.
  • Really enjoyed this thread, and feel inspired to suggest to my gang back home that we add a ham. Never done it before. Would love to do a beef rib joint too, haven't had roast beef English style for years, but would run into the same problem of red vs ruined.

    Nobody bothers with any venison then? Since I have been out here I have really got into it.
  • Found a reciepe for Pine Nut and Sun dried tomato Stuffing Roast Beef

    going to do that this year

    I do ham with marmalade and cloves. When the ham is cooked, cut off the hard skin bit leave the soft fat there. Score it into diamond shapes but make sure you dont go through all the way, then smear it liberally with marmalade and cook it or better still grill it for another half an hour until black. Beautiful. Serve on boxing day hot with cold Turkey and mash or chips,crusty bread and pickles.
  • For those who are worried about beef being red or burnt buy a decent sized cut and cook, uncovered, at a much higher heat and less time than suggested. Use a thermometer to check the middle of the joint is cooked to 'rare' and you should find the outide is burnt. Works very well with rib. Everyones happy.
