COOKING GUIDE
Boiling
- Cover ham in fresh water and boil for the calculated time according to the weight
- If you intend to serve the ham cold, allow it to cool first in the stock in
which it has been cooked (this keeps it moist) - Before serving, carefully remove the rind/skin then glaze as per guide
Steam roasting (for enhanced flavour for special occasions)
- Place ham in roasting pan and half fill with equal amounts of either ginger ale and water, or Coca-Cola and water, or cider and water
- Cover and roast for the calculated time according to the weight at 180˚C
- Baste the ham with liquid from the pan, turn once during cooking time
to ensure ham is kept moist - Before serving carefully remove the rind/skin and then glaze
*Allow 40 mins cooking time per kilo for all types of Colcom Ham
GLAZING GUIDE
After removing the rind/skin, score the fat with a sharp knife making diamond shapes. Prepare a glaze of your choice (or try one of our suggestions
below) and baste the ham with glaze. Bake in a hot oven at 250˚C, basting every 5 minutes until golden brown. Amazing glazes to try! You may of course have your own delectable glaze recipe, but we suggest these 2 that will leave your guests wanting more:
Orange glaze:
Mix well 1 cup orange marmalade/ apricot jam, 2 cups brown sugar, juice of 1 orange and 1 teaspoon mustard. Honey and sherry glaze: Combine 1 cup honey, 1 teaspoon mustard, 2 cups brown sugar and 1 shot of sherry.
