Swedish Holiday Ham Recipes
Here are Ulla Hanson’s traditional Swedish
Holiday Ham recipes.
Boiled Ham:
10-12 Lb. Cured ham
Place fat side up, cover with cold water
Bring to boiling, skim surface. Add seasonings:
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ tsp. peppercorns
- ½ tsp. allspice
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped carrot
- salt to taste
Boil gently for 4 hours, turning after 2 hours. When ham is tender, remove
from liquid, skin and wipe loose fat from ham. Return to stock and let stand
in a cool place over night to ensure a juicy ham. Next day:
Combine 1 beaten egg white (a whole egg is OK),
1 Tbsp. dry mustard (or prepared mustard is OK),
1 Tbsp. sugar
Brush mixture on ham, sprinkle with fine breadcrumbs. Bake at 325 degrees
until nicely brown, approximately 50 minutes.
Baked Ham:
Place ham fat side up, in shallow baking pan. Insert
meat thermometer, careful not to touch bone. Bake at 250-260 degrees until the
internal ham temperature reaches 170 degrees. This takes 4-6 hours, depending
on the size of the ham. Remove ham from oven, skin off rind, cool slightly
before proceeding with the egg glazing. Follow the recipe noted above for
Boiled Ham glazing and bake as shown. This ham is served cold.
