Mulled Cider

 

Some people put their Christmas tree up on the 1st of December. Some of my American friends put their Christmas tree up the day before thanksgiving. Me? I'm a twelve days before, twelve days after kinda girl. I blame my momma; she told me that was the rule.

 

But then I started blogging. More to the point, then I started following a million (only barely exaggerating.. you should see my emails each day!) amazing bloggers, who all seem to get in the Christmas spirit way before me. This makes me want to put my tree up too!

Apple Poached Gammon with Peach Butter Glaze

Last Sunday, there was a new experience in the Ellwood household. Roast dinners are not an uncommon experience in our house- but the usual victims are (in no particular order) Lamb, Beef and Chicken. Duck on special occasions. Gammon?  Mr E hadn't even had Gammon like this, let alone in our time. Have you? I remember it as a childhood family favourite, but for some reason it has been neglected in recent years.

Not anymore. It was declared an instant hit, not least by me as it was so easy to do!

P.S. OK, so I should probably admit that this isn't technically a roast, but it's along the same lines and makes a great alternative.
