By "one sitting" I am not counting potty breaks, gas stops, getting something
to eat from a snatch & grabbit, etc. Just, basically, no naps, big meals,
overnight motels, etc. Plenty of time to collapse or pig out one one arrives.

I note that we're barely into November and Vicky's TV is Christmas stuff
already - nearly everywhere.  FEH!

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Julskinka - Christmas Ham
 Categories: Five, Loo, Pork
      Yield: 12 Servings

      3 kg (6 1/2 lb) or bigger salt
           - cured fresh ham (do NOT
           - use dried, cured ham)
      1 lg Egg
      2 tb Mustard
      1 tb Sugar
      3 tb Breadcrumbs

  The main dish served [in Sweden] on Christmas Eve is the
  "julskinka", the traditional Christmas ham. Usually, a ham
  should last at least for a week and appear at almost all
  meals between Christmas Eve and New Years Day.

  Depending upon the method of salt curing it might be
  necessary to leave the ham overnight covered with water to
  desalt it.

  Preheat the oven to 250oF/120oC. Insert an oven
  thermometer in the thickest part of the ham and bake until
  the internal temperature reaches 165oF/73oC. Remove the
  rind carefully and as much of the fat as you like. (With
  less fat left it is healthier but drier!)

  Reheat the oven to 450oF/230oC.

  Mix egg, mustard, and sugar. Place the ham in a roasting
  pan, cover it with the mixture, and sift the breadcrumbs
  over; they should stick to the egg-mustard mixture.

  Bake the ham for 10 minutes in the oven. When ready, it
  should have a golden colour with a few deep brown but no
  black patches. If you're not going to use it as the
  centrepiece on the buffet table you can serve it together
  with potatoes, red cabbages, mustard and stewed and mashed
  apples.
