A Christmas ham or gammon is a great way to stretch the same dish across the seasonal menu. Either hot as a roast or cold, with pickles on Boxing day. In this recipe we combine orange juice and Bisto Ham Bouillon, to give a sweet smokey flavour and then glaze this with honey, marmalade and a touch of mustard.

This is a great way to serve a traditional turkey with all the trimmings. The bacon stops the turkey from drying out and using stuffing down the centre, helps keep the costs down. It can be prepared well in advance of service and also freezes well.

This dish uses a chicken supreme, which means the wing bone has been kept in and the skin kept on. Keeping the bone in, keeps the meat more moist and makes it more presentable on the plate. If you keep the skin on, this too will keep the moisture in the meat.
