Had our first taste of Christmas ham today. A Woolies brand double smoked half leg. The top half.

Very nice indeed

HI Derek
Sounds pretty good. I am thinking about a good feed of ham and eggs. Or any meal with ham

full leg ham, I will dress and cook it for Christmas. Photos to come latter.

Look forward to seeing the photos Muzz.

Will have this little lady here for Christmas. (Photos from a couple of Christmases ago) She is currently free of Leukaemia cells and we are positively looking to the future with her. She loves helping me in the kitchen.

As a kid living near Windsor in NSW, Dad worked at the Riverstone Meat Works and we always had smoked leg of lamb at Christmas. Called it poor mans ham. Actually may of even been mutton.

Don’t know anyone who does it up here and lamb is now dearer than pork.

How do you cook it Muzz??

Derek,
I cook it just like any other leg, rosemary and a few spices. This one cost a little over $58.00.
My butcher will do them with 10 days' notice all done in house.

Last year we set about trying to find a "new favourite" ham as the commercial one we used to get doesn't seem to be available down here.

Now the Barossa and Adelaide hills have a German heritage - so there are smokehouses and butchers who do their own smoking all over the place.

So after trying many different hams it came down to two. Mount Pleasant Butchery at Mount Pleasant (obviously) and Linke's Butchery at Nuriootpa.

Both were excellent.

This year it down to one, as Linke's closed after 93 years.
