Well aged ham

This ham is pretty much 2 years old. We had kind of despaired of it as we wanted to bone it so we could cut it in the electric slicer but it was too hard (literally) so we kept putting it off. I was worried as well that the fat would have gone a bit rancid in all that time as it did on another old one.

A friend who used to teach cooking and butchery kindly agreed to tackle it for us

In return Doug taught him some things about servicing skis

This is Alfie the Chihuahua, he doesn't like Poppy much and apparently thinks he is bigger and tougher than her!

It turned out to be super super tasty! Best ham yet. Unfortunately when we cured it we were in a rush and didn't write down what we did properly. Doh!
