I treated myself to a gammon joint and box of bacon for christmas. I had almost forgotten how good a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich could be, and the joy of a bacon butty as a quick lunch is hard to beat. I simmered the gammon with celery onions and carrots before baking it with a glaze. Beautifull succulent meat and loads of stock to make soups. After cooking I froze some slices of the gammon for when I fancied chicken and ham pie, or another quick meal topped with an egg. With no waste at all it has turned out to be more economical than I thought. Many thanks for an affordable 'luxury'.
