Ingredients
- 900g (2lb) Premium Bacon joint
Glazes
- 1-2 x 15ml sp (1-2tbsp) Honey
- or Marmalade and mustard - a spoonful of each
- or Favourite jam or jelly (redcurrant, plum, quince, etc)
Method
Preparation
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180ºC.
1
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).
2
Open up the foil for the last 20 minutes of cooking and brush now with the glaze (if you are using one).
3
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).
