Leo Tolstoy is one of the most revered Russian writers of all time. His works include War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and Resurrection. He was also an ardent Christian who sought to live his beliefs in his everyday life, which included practicing pacifism during war time.

In particular, he believed that a person's true nature could only be revealed through their interactions with others. He also felt that human beings were inherently good, but that they often made bad choices due to ignorance or fear.

Ingredients:

serves 8–10

3kg unsmoked boneless gammon joint
4 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
1 leek, cleaned and roughly chopped
1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tsp black peppercorns, lightly crushed
1 tsp coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
3 bay leaves handful of cloves

For the honey glaze:

100g demerara sugar
50ml Madeira
25ml sherry vinegar
125g honey

Method:

Put the gammon into a large saucepan and pour on enough cold water to cover. Add the carrots, leek, onion, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cinnamon stick and bay leaves. Bring to the boil, turn down to a simmer and cook for 3 hours, topping up with more boiling water if necessary. Skim off the froth and any impurities that rise to the surface from time to time. If cooking in advance, leave the ham to cool in the stock overnight. Otherwise, allow it to cool a little, then remove from the pan. Strain the stock (and save for soups, sauces, etc.).

To make the glaze, put the sugar, Madeira, sherry vinegar and honey into a pan and stir over a low heat. Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 3–4 minutes, until you have a glossy dark syrup. Do not leave unattended, as it can easily boil over.

Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5. Lift the ham onto a board. Snip and remove the string and then cut away the skin from the ham, leaving behind an even layer of fat. Lightly score the fat all over in a criss-cross, diamond pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. Stud the centre of each diamond with a clove.

Put the ham into a roasting tin and pour half of the glaze over the surface. Roast for 15 minutes.

Pour on the rest of the glaze and return to the oven for another 25–35 minutes until the ham is golden brown, basting with the pan juices frequently. It also helps to turn the pan as you baste to ensure that the joint colours evenly.

Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving with the accompaniments.

The story begins with Dr. John Watson, the faithful friend and chronicler of the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes, recounting an intriguing case. Holmes is approached by Dr. James Mortimer, who is concerned about the safety of Sir Henry Baskerville, the last of the Baskervilles, a family with a tragic history.

The Baskerville family has been plagued by a legend of a supernatural, hellish hound that haunts the moors surrounding their ancestral home, Baskerville Hall. According to the legend, this spectral hound is said to be a curse upon the family, responsible for the deaths of many Baskervilles, including Sir Charles Baskerville, who has recently died under mysterious circumstances.

Dr. Mortimer is worried that the same fate awaits Sir Henry Baskerville, who has just arrived from Canada to claim his inheritance and reside at Baskerville Hall. He seeks Holmes' help in investigating the circumstances surrounding Sir Charles's death and protecting Sir Henry.

Holmes, ever intrigued by a good mystery, sends Dr. Watson to Baskerville Hall with Sir Henry to keep him safe and gather information. Watson soon becomes embroiled in a series of puzzling events, including the appearance of strange figures on the moor, the discovery of a bootprint similar to that of a gigantic hound, and the legend of the spectral hound itself.

Holmes, meanwhile, conducts his own investigation from a distance, uncovering secrets and connections that link the past to the present. He ultimately deduces that the legend of the hound is a cover for a very human and sinister plot involving greed, jealousy, and revenge.

As the story unfolds, Holmes and Watson work together to confront the truth and prevent further tragedy, culminating in a dramatic climax on the foggy and treacherous moors surrounding Baskerville Hall.
