of fat from the ham. Using a small sharp knife, make X shaped cuts
about 2 inches deep and 1 inch apart all over the fat side of the
ham. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Squeeze as much water as possible
from the thawed kale and spinach, Put then in the food processor
along with the onion, watercress, celery leaves, salt and pepper.
Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped. Press the vegetable
mixture into the cavities you have cut inot the ham, packing it down
well. Place the ham fat side up , in a shallow baking pan. Bake for
2 hours. Stir together honey, vinegar, mustard and ginger and brush
part of mixture onto ham. Continue baking and basting for 30 minutes,
until ham is richly glazed. REmove ham from the oven and let it rest
for 20 minutes for easier carving. Carve carefully, holding the
slices to keep stuffing in place. Garnish platter with watercress if
you like.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet hints and tips
In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Make low carbohydrate bread crumbs for breadcrumb coated foods.
Although you can possibly buy low carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carb bread in your oven on a baking tray. Once it is hard, grind it up in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware container.
* Don't skip meals
Most reduced carb recipes are, errmm.., low in carbs. Your body must have energy, and carbs are a fast acting energy source. A reduced carbohydrate diet needs more care in managing your energy intake, as any energy given by protein and fat is much slower acting.
Brassicas, Superfoods that also help with your Weight loss
(eg. Cauliflower, Broccoli, Collard greens and Rutabaga)
Members of the brassica family are full of vitamins (eg.vitamin c), minerals (eg. potassium and selenium), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents.
In addition to their many other health benefits, the minerals and nutrients in these are believed to reduce the risk of cancer.
