In a large casserole dish pop in your chopped carrots, black pepper, chopped celery, bay leaves

Then pop your unwrapped ham joint on top

Next pour your cider and part of your apple juice over the ham and put the lid on

Turn your oven up to 200C/ 400F / Gas 6

Remove the netting with scissors (it will be hot - careful) and remove the rind with a knife, this should come off very easily - discard
