Jellied chicken and ham pie

You might not be familiar with hot water pastry, but it's the same pastry, but it's the same pastry used for pork pies. It's not commonly made at home any more, and I don't know why as it's so simple to make and really very good.

Ham hocks are about the cheapest meat you can buy from the butcher and they go a long way. Mixing this with some cooked chicken and baking it makes for a delicious cold meal. For me, this is a fantastic summer lunchtime recipe. It goes beautifully with a spoonful of English mustard, a crisp green salad, a side of pickled onions and half a pint of mild.
