Nothing can be simpler than getting a Gammon Joint from your favourite Butcher, farm shop or mail order meat supplier and either boiling or roasting for beautiful moist fresh ham.
You can keep in the fridge all week for a variety of meals and snacks, Ham sandwiches on soft white bread with English Mustard, a nice ham salad and then chop what’s left and use in a classic Pasta Ham & Parmesan Carbonnara. Superb tasty frugal food.
