Sorry....I posted this on the Gammon thread but no one was reading it....
I have just boiled an Asda Gammon, with the intention of roasting it in the oven with a glaze for the last 30 mins.
One of the recipes on here calls for taking off the skin before you roast it.
This bit has no 'skin', but a big bit of fat and rind round it, covered in thick plastic. It said to keep the plastic on when you boiled it.
Do I take off the fat and the plastic wrap that was holding it all together before I put the glaze on and roast it?? Or will it fall apart?

Hi there
Not thick at all..
Now it is boiled take off the wrapper, and if the fat is very thick I trim some off -then slash what is left on (so the glaze can soak in) and cover with your glaze and bake -It shouldn't drop to bits
-6 -8 -3 -1.5 -2.5 -3 -1.5-3.50 -
Ahhhhh....fabulous thanks Mrs Mcawber! I had visions of it 'unrolling' in the roaster, and being unable to carve it. I have done plenty of roasts before....but never seen one with this plastic support on it! Must be a new thing...or maybe my usual butcher just doesnt' use them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer

The rind is the skin. Slice this off with a knife and chuck it. Score the fat in a pretty diamond pattern (well I always do), smear it with a mixture of something sweet (marmalade/honey/crab aplled jelly/brown sugar) and some mustard.
Bake for half an hour.0 -
Thanks all
It turned out absolutely fabulous....four hard working men demolished it and left none for me!
