Soak the raw Ham Joint in cold tap water so that it is well covered with water,I used a large - deep - cast Iron Spaghetti Pasta Saucepan - soak for 24 hours.Then rinse the ham joint,particularly if it's salt preserved raw Gammon of Ham - and then boil in the same large Saucepan - the ham joint - for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Set the oven at Gas Mark 4 and melt the 250g of Unsalted Butter (whole block usually).Place blanched ham joint in the deep Skillet of melted butter - pour Lyle's Golden Syrup over the One side of the ham joint and then spread 50g of Dijon Mustard over the top and then precede too do the same with the other side - don't baste - just place Kitchen Foil over the top and then bake at Gas Mark 4 for 1 hour.
