Rolled Bacon Joint

Description

Unsmoked rolled bacon joints are a delicious alternative to a gammon joint. The bacon joint is from the loin of the animal and the gammon is from the hind leg of the animal.

It is so very tasty when cooked boiled in ginger ale in a pan then popped in the oven to roast to crisp up with cloves and brown sugar. Alternatively, it can be roasted in a tray surround by delicious seasonal vegetables to soak up the delicious flavour. An incredibly moreish cut of meat loved by all ages.

Cooking Suggestion
Oven

Instructions: Oven 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4 Place in roasting tin, lightly season and cover with foil. Roast in centre of pre-heated oven. For a medium roast, cook for 30 minutes per 0.5kg. A medium roast will be pink in the middle. For a well done roast increase cooking time to 40 minutes per 0.5kg. 10 minutes before end of cooking remove foil, baste with cooking juices and place back in oven to finish. Remove from oven, cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes. Remove strings, carve and serve.

The longer and lower the temperature, the less the joint will shrink in cooking.
