Julskinka - Christmas Ham

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre-heat the oven to 125 o C. Insert an oven thermometer in the thickest part of the ham.

2. 2

   Depending upon the method of salt curing it might be necessary to leave the ham overnight covered with water to desalt it.

3. 3

   Remove the rind carefully and as much of the fat as you like. (With less fat left it is healthier but drier!)

4. 4

   Heat the oven to 225 o C.

5. 5

   Mix egg, mustard and sugar.

6. 6

   Place the ham on a roasting-pan, cover it with the mixture and sift the breadcrumbs over if. They should stick to the egg-mustard mixture.

7. 7

   Bake the ham for 10 minutes in the oven. When ready, it should have a golden colour with a few deep brown but no black patches.
