• 3 to 4 kg serves 8 to 10 with sides

How To Serve

• Cold: Slice and serve with mustards, chutney, and fresh salads.
• Warm: Cover with foil and heat at 160°C until just warmed through.
• Glazed: Score the fat, brush with glaze, and bake at 180°C, basting every 10 minutes until glossy.

Glazing Basics

• Remove skin, leave a thin fat layer, and score in a 2 cm diamond.
• Use roughly 3 parts sweet to 1 part acid with optional spice.
• Rest 10 to 15 minutes before carving.

Glaze

Storage and Handling

• Refrigerate at 2 to 4°C on arrival.
• For bone in hams, use a clean ham bag or pillowcase rinsed in a solution of 1 cup vinegar to 4 cups water. Wring out and refresh every 2 to 3 days.
• Keep boneless hams tightly wrapped to prevent drying.
• Once opened and carved, consume within 5 to 7 days for best quality.
• Use clean utensils and limit time at room temperature.

Carving Tips

• Use a long, sharp carving knife and a steady board.
• For bone in, cut a small wedge at the hock end, then slice across the grain into even slices.
• For boneless, square one end and slice thin, even pieces.
