Rare Breed Dingley Dell Artisan Ham

Dingley Dell Pork comes from a Heritage Breed Pig called the Red Suffolk. It has a light pinkish hue, laced with intramuscular fats. The pork is wonderful when cooked as a steak and we suspect would make a lovely ham. For the first time, we've taken a batch of Dingley Dell Whole Leg, and meticulously shape them into Hams. The combination of smoke and sweetness from a clean porky flavour will surely make this the highlight of your festive feast! 

The Dingley Dell Artisan Ham are fully cooked, ready to glaze, carve and enjoy! For best result, we recommend removing the skin and glazing the ham.

 How to reheat, glazed and carve a whole ham

Please note, this recipe makes for glazing a whole ham (3-4kg)

Ingredients:
1 whole rare breed ham (cooked)
¼ cup honey of your choice (we recommend natural honey)
¼ cup fresh orange juice (pulp extracted)
¼ cup dijon mustard
You may also add a splash of Brandy, maple syrup and pepper to taste

HOW TO PREPARE THE HAM

An hour prior to glazing the ham, remove ham from the chiller. Gently removing the skin with a short kitchen knife or simply by sliding your index finger under the skin. 

Preheat the oven to 160ºC.

HOW TO Make a Ham Glaze at home.

Add honey, orange juice, dijon mustard and additional seasonings into a cold saucepan and warm it over a low flame.

When heated up, mixed and smoothed, gently ladle spoonfuls of the glaze over the ham’s surface. Ensure every crevice of the caramelised fat should be coated.

Place the ham back in the oven, allowing it to bake for a further 20 minutes. During this time, the glaze will crystallise, and start turning a golden brown. Repeat this process as many times until you achieve the best possible golden brown. This step also helps render any additional fats and reduce the fat cover over the ham.

HOW TO CARVE A WHOLE HAM

Let the ham cool to a touch.

Get a sharp knife and carve to your required thickness. Place them on a serving dish.

Serve the ham slices with Jams, Honey Mustard or any sides of your choice.
