I forgot to baste after 3 hours, having tea with the family, so almost 2 hours from 2nd to 3rd baste.
Then tinfoil off and a final 30-40 mins and it’s ready!
Had a couple of sneaky pieces and tastes good 😋

Plus we now have the household in full, 4 (adult) children, 1 son-in-law, 1 grandson, and 1 partner.
They’re not having the ham tonight though!

Today is the cooking of the Xmas ham, using a tried and tested long standing recipe … involving a bottle of cola and anything sweet or mustardy we can find in the cupboard. I’ll be basting it regularly so expect updates.

An uncooked ham in a baking dish filled with a strange mixture. There’s a bowl behind with this mixture, and the suspicion is that the bottles and jars behind have all been emptied into this bowl. From left to right: demerera sugar, maple syrup, golden syrup, cheap cola, Colman’s mustard, honey
