Christmas Roasted Ham

I usually do it on Christmas Eve for supper, but we're out tonight and I'm not sure if I'll have time tomorrow. I do like a slice of gammon with the rest of the Christmas lunch but we have loads of bacon and whatever so I don't think it will matter. Might be nice to have a break from the white meat and have it hot on Boxing Day.

I do without the ham! Piles of pigs in blankets instead, cooked on the grill/convection setting of my multi function microwave oven. Remember those? They are still very versatile.
The turkey can be cooked in the conventional oven.

Don't like pigs in blankets. prefer a gammon joint and sausagemeat stuffing.

I don’t know if anyone else said ‘part cook’ the ham the day before but I certainly didn’t.

If the ham has been thoroughly cooked the day before, i.e to the internal temperature of 60 degrees needed to destroy bacteria, then cooled rapidly and kept refrigerated there shouldn’t be any problem with glazing it and reheating it in the oven.

Anyway, no-one seems to have been poisoned and I hope you all had a great Christmas day with fabulous food 😁

I always understood that part cooking is not a good idea.
