900ml water
1 turnip, peeled and cut in half

Rehydrate peas by following pack instructions (usual soaking time is around 2 hours for quick soak variety or overnight for longer version).

Step 2

Place gammon in large pan with rehydrated peas and the remaining ingredients.

Step 3

Bring to the boil, skim off the scum and reduce to a gentle simmer with lid on for about 1½-2 hours, until gammon is tender and almost flaking and the peas have broken down and are ‘mushy’.

Step 4

Remove rind and fat from gammon and serve in bowls with broken chunks and peas pudding broth and crusty bread for dunking!
