Step 1 of 8

The smoked ham comes in a net, leave it on while boiling the ham.

Step 2 of 8

place it in cold water and bring to the boil. This piece weigh 2.2 lb. it needs to boil for 40 minutes. When boiled turn the heat off and let the ham sit in the water for 40 minutes.

Step 3 of 8

Turn your oven on to 435 F Mix sugar and mustard. I like my mustard with a bit of a bite so I use dijon mustard. Use any mustard. You don't need brown sugar you can use white sugar.

Step 4 of 8

Place the ham in a oven proof dish and cut the net off.

Step 5 of 8

Cut the rind off Because of the boiling it has the texture of a elastic band.

Step 6 of 8

Brush your mustard-sugar mix on the ham

Step 7 of 8

Glaze it in the hot oven for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent it to get burnt.

Step 8 of 8

Serve with mustard and cream spinach or your favourite veggie and melted butter.

You're Done!

Dear Zig Zag smoked hams are not cooked in Denmark and I'll give you a heads up when it is on the menu next time, looking forward to see you, just bring appetite 😄

Thanks Karen, here in the US, smoked hams are usually sold 'fully cooked', is that the same in Denmark? Can you call me next time you're serving this, it looks delicious, and I can just pop over! Mmmmmm

Dear Suey asking questions are never ever silly it just shows that you are interested. So keep asking and if I can I'll answer. 😄

Dear Suey this is only a 2.2 lb. piece and not a full leg of ham. For every 2 lb. you need a boiling time of 40 minutes and just as long a time resting in the water off the heat. If you can gat a piece of smoked bacon you can boil it the same way. Nice cold in a sandwich with mustard and salat 😄
