I boiled a ham shank today and I threw off the first boiled water but jeepers creepers am I thirsty - I can't stop drinking so much water.

I have opened a tin of grapefruit to be with me as I retire for the night.

Never again will I do another ham. Mind you it was lovely and tasty - had a ham bap and home made veggie soup for dinner

ah I reach out for more watta

They vary so much don' they, I try to soak in cold for a day changing water often before the first simmer.

Tis tasty though.
My Dad used to cook boiled hams with mashed potato, little carrots and parsley sauce when I was a kid, I loved it :)

I would cook it again but only if I have company. It's not worth it for one.
It's not worth it for one.

Buy enough for one off the deli counter in one of the supermarkets, conne.
How can it be "not worth it for one" when you can divide it into portions and freeze it. That's what I'd do.
As ham is salt-cured I do what Mamya does. Give it a good soak overnight in cold water to get rid of the salt. I don't boil them though, I roast them.
Its rare that you get them that need soaking first.
I always pre taste then soak if required.
But I boil and roast - I find it gives a better taste.
Grapefruit juice? Drink of the devil.
