Lads, does this need to be boiled or can you just roast? Pros and cons of each? Tia

  1. Smoked should be fine roasted. I prefer to boil in full fat cola after soaking for a few hours. Then roast it.

  2. Boil it a few times in water, it takes away the salt each time. Then boil it in cider for a while (eg. 2ltr strongbow ). After it’s boiled slabber it in a honey & wholegrain mustard mix & add cloves. Shove it in the oven & bobs yer uncle.

  3. Make sure and steep it in a pot of water too.

    I’m smoking mine today. Can’t wait

  4. Thanks for all the replies! Happy Christmas all, hope your hams are delish

  5. You don’t *have* to boil it but it will be very salty if you don’t

  6. Don’t listen to anyone telling you to just cook this lol. Definitely boil a couple of times before.
