- 2 1/2kg (5lb) boneless smoked gammon
- 500ml (1pt) bottle cider
- 3 parsnips, peeled and halved
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and each cut into 4

- Bake for 1 hr until the gammon is tender. Carefully peel away the dark fat skin, to reveal the white fat covering on the gammon.

- Return the gammon and vegetables back to the oven and continue to cook for 30 mins, uncovered until the gammon and vegetables are tender and brown.
