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.
