This was the spread for a group of my favourite peeps yesterday - treacle and mustard glazed ham, bread, poppy seed and fennel crackers, cheese, cheese and some... um... cheese. Ruddy lovely. The blue mat in the middle was later filled with a baked camembert but at this point Mrs W arrived with baby Ethan so I was distracted by the most gorgeous little man in the ENTIRE world (IMHO!).
Few tips:
Crackers - easy as pie. No, easier. 250g plain flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp spice seeds of your choice, 1/2 tsp small seeds (linseed, poppy etc), mix together. Add 100ml water and 40ml olive oil, mix to a dough, chill for 30 mins in cling film then roll out super thin and bake at 180 for about 10 mins or until browned and crispy. Deeeee-lish.
Ham - Boil your ham joint (off the bone) for 30mins per 500g in water. Then, dredge your ham out, remove any plastic papery stuff or netting. If your ham has a lot of fat, slice most off and score the little bit left. If it's already lean, no problems! Pop it on a baking tray with foil on it to dry off for a few mins while the oven preheats (200C). Mic a teaspoon of english hot spicy nostril stinging mustard and a good tablespoon or two of treacle and rub it all over the ham. Bake for about 20 mins until browned and sticky. Yummers!!!
