Do you like my mountain of peaches?! I almost didn't want to ruin it by using them to cook with... almost. Then I remembered just how amazing peach butter is (and that our current supply was running low) and I quickly got over that. I told you about the wonder of peach butter in a recent post about cherry butter, and when I used it as a glaze for my gammon, but I thought it was high time I showed you what I was raving about. If I don't persuade you just how amazing the taste is, I'm hoping to persuade you with just how pretty it is! Oh, and have I mentioned it makes your house smell INCREDIBLE?!
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.
