Honey mustard gammon

When you want a good sandwich, you need a good filling And nothing makes a good sandwich like ham.
Making your own ham is delicious and actually pretty cheap. Consider how much you spend on a packet of cheap smart price ham, chances are you won't be getting better than one pound per one hundred grams. Now the bit of gammon in the picture cost five pounds and weighs 1.2 kilos. For the same weight of packaged ham your looking at twelve pounds.

To cook the gammon it's three easy steps,
First, stud the ham with cloves and boil with peppercorns and onion in salted water for around two hours.
Second, make a simple glaze of honey, and mustard, remove the skin and rub the glaze all over.
Third, roast the gammon for half an hour in a hot oven.

Ta da! Carve thickly and enjoy (if you let it cool it's a little easier to carve).
