I just realized that the tea party post was my 50th blog entry! Now I have completed over 100 recipes and counting! Sorry it's been a while since my last post, I was working on the essay behind the project, which is due next week. For this recipe instead of making 'little pastry cases' (as it says in the book), I made a couple of big quiches, one for lunch today and one for lunches during the week. With the quiches, I added bacon into them and Mummy's home grown mini courgettes. Delicious!

Before searching, I didn't know that Australia sold un-cooked ham
joints, they all seem to come conveniently sealed, on the bone and
cured! So, I cooked a gammon for the first time! It was a simple recipe,
where ham is boiled in a couple of bottles
of diluted Apple Cider. The skin is then scored and glazed (with my Mother's homemade orange,
lemon and grapefruit marmalade) and the gammon is roasted in the oven. I put endives and potatoes in
the roasting tin and tossed them in lemon juice (as I
didn't have any oranges). Having looked on wikipedia, it says that endives are a member of the chicory family,
which includes radicchio, escarole, frisee and curly endive. I found them to be a bit too bitter, which is presumably why they were included in this recipe, because the orange glaze was very sweet and the meat was salty.
