I was planning to go brown sugar & cloves route with my ham, but realised I’ve no brown sugar. It’s going in the oven in 15 mins either way. Has anyone any relevant and valid suggestions as an alternative.

I know Harry. It’s my poor father I feel sorry for. He’s been stuck in a fucking hotel room for the last 3 weeks. Refuses to come home until she’s released. It’s been really tender hooks here.
I’ve gone through 6 tanks of diesel in the last fortnight. Poor kids have got nothing out of the Christmas. I was off yesterday and brought them off for the day just to give them some bit of a day out.
I really wonthink be sorry to see the back of this year.
Having said all that they reckon the operation was a success. So that’s my Christmas present sorted.

The honey suggestion above. If you have time boil equal amounts wine vinegar and honey until it’s thick and slather half of it on now and the other half mid way through cooking.
Fair play Mike, Christmas is for family and this will be a memorable one,
Best of luck to you and your ma, Merry Christmas.

Dig in some garlic into the fat, just like the cloves and cover it in cider. This works amazingly well particularly in a bag.
That’s shit but at least all will be well. Enjoy as much as you can of christmas. Good luck.
