Christmas ham again

[hogdog6]

Great looking ham, it has been tradition every year for us to do a ham also but this year I told my wife I wanted to do a brisket. She was not happy with the idea of breaking tradition but told me we should put it to a vote with our adult children, to her surprise it was a unanimous vote for brisket. However now I’ve seen your technique, ham may very well return to the menu next year. Thanks for sharing!

@CaptainMike--Not sure if you addressed this to me or Henrik, but my idea was just a plain old, uncured, unsmoked piece of raw pork. IMO, I think "cured" would not imply raw.

[CaptainMike]

By unsmoked, do you mean cured or uncured?

Henrik, could this be done with a "regular" ham rather than an uncured one?

You had me at way better!

[Henrik]

Thanks!

Yes, it is boneless. We always buy ham de-boned here. Tradition I guess. And yes, I started with a raw unsmoked ham.

[HouseHomey]

I'd eat that!

[Mudkat]

Looks delicious!

[Willy]

I assume you started with a raw, unsmoked ham? Also, I agree with HouseHomey that the cut of pork looks different than what we think of as ham here, for instance, it looks boneless. It'll be interesting to see if, and how, it is different.

Gorgeous! Looks like it will be the perfect Dinner!

[Spinaker]

Yum! Yum! Nothing better at Xmas than Ham!

[Henrik]

Thanks! If/when you cook one, be sure to post photos so I can see the difference. Always keen on learning.

[HouseHomey]

That my friend looks fantastic! Our hams look a little different.

I just wanted to say that for those of you who don't have glögg at home, any kind of sugary liquid will do. Think concentrated apple juice or similar. The glögg doesn't add as much flavor as it adds sugar.
