INGREDIENTS
900g (2lb) Premium Bacon joint
Glazes:
1-2 x 15mlsp (1-2tbsp) honey
or
Marmalade and mustard - a spoonful of each
or
Favourite jam or jelly (redcurrant, plum, quince, etc)
Preparation method
Cooking time 20 minutes per 450g/½kg (1lb)
PREPERATION
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180ºC, 350ºF.
Place the joint into a foil lined roasting pan. Add a small cup of water and lightly scrunch the foil around the joint (this will create a little steam during cooking and keep the joint moist).
Open up the foil for the last 20 minutes of cooking and brush now with the glaze (if you are using one).
Place the vegetables in a separate roasting pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, season and roast for 40-50 minutes (potatoes, baby carrots, parsnips, shallots, sweet potatoes, squash, apples or plums or any of your favourite seasonal root vegetables will work well).
