    BBC Good Food, such a great website, magazine and calendar. But, no I’m afraid you got this wrong. Cured ham can be really very salty, as a result of the curing process. Soak the joint in cold water over night, discard the water and rinse the ham. Then fill the pot with cold water again, bring to the boil and then discard this water also. Remove the joint and proceed with desired recipe👍

    Just to clarify: if the meat is not smoked is it really gammon? I've always assumed that gammon was, by definition, a smoked meat dish. Does"gammon" describe the cut of meat (ie position on the carcass) or the actual dish? Thank you. I clearly have much to learn.

    • @HilaryB.
      @HilaryB. 2 роки тому +8

      Gammon is basically just uncooked ham, it's the same, or so I was told by a butcher once. I've actually not had smoked gammon (not keen on smoked bacon) only un-smoked. One of my favourite recipes is one passed down by my mum, split pea and bacon soup, I use a gammon/ham hock for that. It can be any cut also I think, the hock is the lower leg, but you can get other cuts.
