Christmas wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a gammon centrepiece and this year we have two. Start off with this version that embraces the flavour and sweetness of summer berries. Cooked to perfection and then finished off with this delicious mixed berry jam glaze.<\/p>\n<p>On the side, we&#8217;ve gone for traditional Brussels sprouts. But have no fear, these are not the boiled sprouts of old; these have been cooked in rendered bacon fat and the result is a side of crispy and seriously tasty veggies that even the fussiest of eaters will love.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/recipe\/berry-glazed-gammon-bacon-brussel-sprouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Recipe for Berry Glazed Gammon with Bacon Brussels Sprouts<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Deboned and Stuffed Rolled Pork Loin Roast with Roast Potatoes<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/recipe\/deboned-and-stuffed-rolled-pork-loin-roast-with-roast-potatoes\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-74497 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SAPork4_Nov2019_1000x650.jpg\" alt=\"festive season pork deboned roast\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SAPork4_Nov2019_1000x650.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SAPork4_Nov2019_1000x650-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SAPork4_Nov2019_1000x650-940x611.jpg 940w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SAPork4_Nov2019_1000x650-222x144.jpg 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tastyhealthymodernmeat.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74528\" src=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/CRUSH-SA-pork-1000x100.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1001\" height=\"101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/CRUSH-SA-pork-1000x100.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/CRUSH-SA-pork-1000x100-300x30.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/CRUSH-SA-pork-1000x100-1000x101.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/CRUSH-SA-pork-1000x100-940x95.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If this rolled pork loin roast doesn&#8217;t have you salivating, we don&#8217;t know what will!
