Where do you buy your Xmas leg of ham?

MrsE_2

I'm thinking of doing the Jamie Oliver jerk ham recipe this year. It calls for a leg of ham. I'm confident in buying beef, chicken & lamb. Less so with pork/gammon/ham. Can I buy this in a supermarket?

I just bought a nice outdoor reared gammon joint from the butchers counter at Sainsburys at a reasonable price.

I bought mine in aldi - a bone in joint. Had one last year and it was lovely. I'm doing mine in Dr Pepper instead of coke this year but the jerk one sounds interesting

Ah. The Xmas leg of ham.

That'll be different from the Sunday leg of ham or the Easter leg of ham then?

Just jesting. Got daft head on today. :rotfl:

the jamie xmas tv programme uses ham hocks they cost about £1.50 from a pork butchers - i made them last year and i got mine pre boiled so all i had to do was coat them in jerk sauce and cook them in the oven. they taste fab, the meat just falls off the bone.
