Steps:
- To make the croquetas, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and gently fry the onion for 3 mins or until lightly coloured. Stir in the flour and cook for 30 secs. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, and cook over a low heat for 5 mins until thick and glossy. Stir in the ham, cheese, mustard and cream, and season to taste. Cook for 1 min more until the cheese melts, stirring constantly.
- Pour into a bowl and cover the surface with cling film to stop a skin forming. Leave to cool, then chill for 4 hrs or overnight - the mixture needs to be very stiff to form the croquetas. Take heaped teaspoons of the mixture and, with wet hands, roll into 24 small oval shapes and put on a tray. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl, put the flour on a plate and half of the breadcrumbs in a bowl.
- Roll each of the croquetas lightly in flour, then in egg before coating in breadcrumbs. Place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Use the remaining breadcrumbs to top up the bowl halfway through the coating process. Chill for 30 mins (or to freeze, see tip, below left).
- Meanwhile, make the tomato chilli jam. Put all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover loosely with a lit and cook for 50 mins - 1 hr, stirring occasionally, until thick and glossy. Leave to cool before serving.
- Fill a large saucepan one-third full with the sunflower oil and heat to 180C (or heat the oil in an electric deep-fat fryer). Do not overheat and do not leave hot oil unattended. Using a metal slotted spoon, lower 6 croquets into the oil and cook for 1.5 mins or until golden brown. Transfer to a baking tray lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil, and continue cooking the rest. Serve with the chilli jam for dipping.

Steps:
- Sit the gammon in a large pot with the onion, bay leaves and vinegar. Pour over enough water to completely cover the gammon. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 45 mins. Remove the gammon from the pot and allow to cool.
- Once cool enough to handle, carefully cut away the skin, leaving a layer of fat attached. Pat the skin dry with a clean tea towel, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to dry out completely.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line one small roasting tin with foil and two small baking trays with baking parchment. Put the gammon in the foil-lined tin, fat-side up, and rub all over with the mustard, then the sugar. Put the skin onto one of the baking trays, then place the other piece of parchment on top, followed by the second baking tray. Find a weight to go on top (a heavy pan works well) then put both the gammon and skin in the oven. Roast for 30 mins, basting twice, until the gammon is golden.
- Take the ham out the oven and turn it up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Continue cooking the crackling for 10 mins until it is deep golden and crisp. To serve, carve into slices and break the crackling into shards to serve alongside.
