CARVED HAM SANDWICH RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Place ham in a roasting pan. Pour in water to a 2 inch depth. Cover with a tight fitting lid.
• Bake for 6 to 8 hours in the preheated oven (all day or all night). Remove from the oven, pour off drippings and reserve. Debone ham, removing any excess fat as well, and return to the roasting pan.
• Skim fat from the top of the drippings, and discard. In a small bowl, mix one cup of the drippings with honey, brown sugar, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce and cloves. Pour this over the ham, cover and return to the oven. Remaining drippings may be discarded or reserved for other uses.
• Bake for another 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a pan, add the flour and butter, then slowly bring up to the boil, whisking continuously to a thick, smooth and glossy sauce.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flour has cooked out. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the grill to high and the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Place the bread on a baking tray and toast one side under the grill until golden.
• Turn the bread over and spread each slice with a thin layer of mustard, followed by a layer of white sauce. Cover the sauce with a slice of a cheese and a slice of ham.
• Stack the slices into two sandwiches, then spread a thin layer of white sauce over the top and sprinkle with grated cheddar.
• Bake in the oven for 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Leave to cool for 3–5 minutes before tucking in.
