I didn't get pictures but did Roast lamb shoulder with red wine rosemary garlic onion thyme, and a gammon joint roasted till it had crackling. Both came out beautiful, and the lamb gravy I made was brilliant. Served it with the usual veg, home made yorkshire puddings and duck fat roast potatoes which were absolutely to die for!

That gammon looks beautiful.

Thanks! Tasted it too. Had the idea as I fancied cold ham cuts this year.

Boiled for 1.5hr in stock veg, cinnamon, peppercorns, bay etc.
Glaze made of marmalade, brown sugar, star anise, allspice.
Baked for 30-40mins with a bit of basting.

No pictures, but my beef was the best I've ever had. Was a 4 bone rib in beef. S+P and mustard powder, brown each side then put it in the oven at 75c at 9.30. It came out at 16.00. It was beautiful.

Sounds great Ahleckz!

The girlfriend and I were at our respective families for Christmas, so we did presents yesterday evening and we're cooking our own Christmas dinner tonight. I just bought this, do you think we'll have enough for the two of us?

Trying to decide whether it's worth cooking low and slow for 4 hrs ish or just your traditional roast. Thoughts?

Im going with roast, with that amount of fat on/in it, it will taste fantastic!
