Ham Questions

mto · 2007-12-11 16:40:12

I'm planning on doing a ham for Xmas (probably only a small one, couple of kgs for sandwiches and the like), but i have a couple of questions... What cut do i buy? Is gammon=leg & ham=back, or is ham just cooked gammon? Also I was going to do it in the pressure cooker - will this help to keep it moist ? And how long will…

Yes, the ham will be fine. The amount of salt in the brine solution will kill off any bugs and prevent others from growing too.

I often use my left over ham in quiches/flans and I'll make a batch of them and freeze them down.
