Nigella aromatic ham - need help!

[maxbradbury]

ok have found the recipe but could only find a boneless leg joint of gammon on one on the bone. I have 3.5kg but the recipe says you need 6.5kg for 10! I have 9 people to feed. The 3.5 kg looks huge! Has anyone done this with a boneless leg joint before? Did it turn out ok?

sorry meant only could fine one not on the bone!

Don't panic. I usually make the aromatic ham with a 2.5 kilo joint without the bone. TBH the bone in version makes it a PITA to carve so I prefer boneless. 3.5 kilos is a lot of meat and will be fine for your number of guests but don't expect leftovers. IME Nigella always overestimates the amount of meat required. What else are you serving it with?

Quick calculation (assuming I have worked it out correctly!) shows that you will have approx 400g of ham per person which IMO is plenty.
