How to use up ham.

I bought a nice looking gammon joint for £5.75 in Morrisons.  Not incredibly cheap but not bad, especially when I remember what I paid for three slices of boiled ham while on holiday!!!

I looked around for ideas as to what to make/do and here's some of them.

1.  If it's the right shape, cut off some slightly thicker slices to use as gammon chops (or bacon steaks!)

2.  Boil it up until cooked through, reserving the stock.  If it's a smoked joint, the stock might be too salty unless you have soaked it beforehand, changing the water once.

3.  Cut off some nice slices for:
          sandwiches
          with pineapple, chips and egg
          cheese and ham toastie (slices or shreds)
          salad
          baguette with brie and cranberry sauce

4.  Ham and lentil soup.  Use the stock for the soup and shreds of ham to garnish.  Or ham and pea soup - lovely with split peas.

5.  Potted ham.   Pop ham, same weight butter, bit of mayo and some mustard in a blended and zizz till smooth.  Chill in a pot.  Have with toast, crackers or crusty bread.  Thjere's lopts of variations to this one.

6,  Ham pizza - use a wrap for the base to make it quick and simple

7.  Quiche - of course!

8.  Ham, cheese and tomato quesadillas.
