I love to make a good ham from time to time, I always make a bigger one than I need to so I'll have plenty of leftovers for during the week. I find that I can make a few meals out of the leftovers if I plan ahead... and of course there is nothing like a good ham sandwich too later that evening with a cuppa.

There are certain things that can be bought pre-made for our
convenience that taste wonderful and eliminate the need to make ourselves. Then
there are some things that, when homemade, would beat anything that mass

Some things are worth a little time and effort. This is a
