and the turkey is there nothing u dont know well done pete!!!!re: cooking ham
Cook your turkey the night before. There is so much going on Xmas day who needs to be bothered with worrying if the turkey is OK. Then re-heat 45 mins prior to serving, with plenty of hot oil with a touch of brandy to give it a golden brown appearance and an extra flavour.Do not wrap the turkey too tighly in foil, it does not allow the heat and juces to circulate and this often causes the turkey to be 'dry'.
Eat yer heart out Jimmy Young!

If you really want to impress your friends and family, do your boiled carrotts like this:Reduce a pint of cider by boilng for a long time, then boil up your carrotts as usual, but leave off a bit of cooking time then bung them in the cider for the remainding time. Drain and serve. You can even use the reduced cider in your gravy!! Delisious!!!!

Lemons can be cut in half and placed inside the bird as another way of ensuring moist meat (this is more commonly known of course). Get somebody to help turn the bird and use washing up gloves otherwise its really difficult.
