Pork ham baked in the oven - tricks and useful tips

  • Dishes prepared from fresh meat, differ best taste and benefit. However, it is not always possible to purchase fresh pork, so if you buy a frozen ham, the piece should be defrosted naturally, and not in water: it washes off the valuable juice, which contains protein.
  • Cuts are made on the piece before baking to ensure that the finished meat is juicy and not tough. To soak the ham more thoroughly, you can pour the marinade into these cuts with a spoon or using a medical syringe.
  • Tough meat from an older pig will become soft if, during the preliminary boiling of the ham, 1 tbsp is added to the broth. a spoonful of alcohol or ½ spoon of vinegar (9%).
  • Milk can be a good alternative to brine, which gives a piece of meat a spicy taste and softness. The ham is kept in it for several hours before baking. Mustard, which is often found in recipes for cooking pork ham, has the same properties.
  • Since ham itself is a fairly nutritious and high-calorie product, it is better to select vegetable side dishes. This combination will be the most successful and healthy.

Ham- this, as usual, is the back part of the carcass of a pig, calf, or ram. There is also a shoulder ham. This is part of the neck, shoulder blade and forearm of the animal. Pork hams are extremely popular among housewives. Dishes made from them turn out appetizing, tasty in appearance, and the cooking process itself is absolutely accessible in home conditions.

You will need

  • pork ham
  • spices and herbs
  • carrot

Instructions

1. There are many variations of this dish. Some bake the ham in foil, some trim the fat, and some don’t. To give the ham additional flavor, marinate and create a wonderful glazed crust, various herbs and spices are used - honey and chestnut sugar, cinnamon and cloves, ginger and allspice. The recipe below will allow even inexperienced housewives to get juicy meat with a thin crispy crust.

2. The ham should be marinated two days before cooking. The easiest, typical method will do - rub the ham with salt and black pepper, cover the entire surface with fresh onion rings, wrap in cling film or foil and put in the refrigerator.

3. Around this time, you should put a slice of lard in the freezer.

4. Before preparing the ham, you need to wash, peel and cut several medium-sized carrots into long, even pieces. The lard is taken out of the freezer and chopped in the same way as carrots. Some housewives also stuff their hams with garlic, but not everyone likes the fact that the meat around it can turn a little green when baked, as well as acquire a slight “metallic” taste.

5. Longitudinal cuts are made in the meat with a long, narrow knife, and carrots and lard are placed in these “pockets.” It is convenient to use a special needle for stuffing, but not everyone has it. It is necessary to stuff the ham quickly, because the lard quickly defrosts, which means it becomes softer and it will be virtually impossible to stuff it into the “pockets”.

6. The oven is heated to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the ham on a pre-greased baking sheet, cover with food foil and bake. The time required for baking is determined at the rate of one hour for every kilogram of meat. If you have a special meat thermometer, wait until it reads 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 Celsius.

7. 15-20 minutes before final readiness, remove the foil from the meat and grease it. This is done to obtain a wonderful glossy crust. In theory, there are hundreds of options for coating. Any sour jam will also work - plum, blackcurrant, cranberry - and mustard, just as sour apple juice and honey, honey and cinnamon, apricot jam and dried ginger. Choose based on your taste, experiment and find your “signature” combination of spices.

8. Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the oven and cover it again with foil. Under no circumstances should you rush to cut it! This way you will ensure that every juice flows out of it immediately and the meat becomes dry. Wait 20 minutes and then proceed. This ham is great both as a main course and as a cold appetizer.

You can prepare virtually any product at home. With the use of a smoker it is easy to give familiar dishes strange taste. Such products are excellent to serve both on a festive table and every day at lunch.

You will need

  • ham;
  • smoking unit;
  • sawdust;
  • salt;
  • pepper.

Instructions

1. Take the ham and rinse it thoroughly under water. Dry with a towel. A day before cooking, place it in a separate container, preferably enameled. Take salt, preferably a lot, and rub it on a piece of meat. Place it in a cool place for a day.

2. Prepare a bucket; it should have a lid. Pour sawdust into it so that a layer no larger than 10 centimeters is formed. Tie a ham pre-wrapped in a thick layer of gauze folded in four to the handle of the lid, turn the lid with the handle down and close tightly. The homemade smoking unit is ready. You can put it on a leisurely fire.

3. Use ready-made smoking units; the readiness of the ham is determined by eye. A kilogram piece of pork can be smoked perfectly in about 1-2 hours. This entire procedure must be performed outdoors; it is possible even on a grill, having previously installed a grate on it.

4. Take sawdust of deciduous origin, because spruce and pine contain a lot of resinous substances. They can impart a bitter taste to smoked foods. If the farm does not have a lid, a piece of plywood can replace it, only in the middle you must first make a loop in order to tie the meat.

5. When smoking, place the meat so that it does not come into contact with each other and is not very close to the place where the smoke is generated. You can lay gauze between them or tie planks. Do not allow the fire to burn vigorously - to do this, periodically add moistened sawdust. Monitor the temperature of the smoke with a thermometer.

Pork ham cooked and smoked at home

If you or your friends have a smokehouse, then the question of what to cook with pork butt should no longer be on the agenda in the kitchen.

Ingredients:

  • pork ham – 1 pc.;
  • salt – 200 g;
  • sugar – 20 g;
  • allspice – 6 pcs.;
  • cloves – 2 buds;
  • bay leaf – 3 leaves;
  • peppercorns – 5 pcs.;
  • water – 2 l.

Preparation

Boil water and pour in all the ingredients, of course, except the meat itself. Mix well, there should be no salt residue left at the bottom, this can harm the meat. The composition and quantity of spices are indicated statistically, but you can add your favorite herbs or change the proportions of the above. Only the amount of salt and sugar per unit of water should remain unchanged. While the marinade brine is cooling, begin preparing the pork. Wash the ham well in warm water, if necessary, use a dishwashing sponge. Pour the cold brine over the ham so that the meat is completely covered; by the way, the dishes in which the ham will be salted should under no circumstances oxidize. So, the ham should spend 7 days in brine in the refrigerator. Then wash it and hang it to dry, this will take 7-8 hours. When the meat has dried well, it can be sent for hot smoking, which should last at least half an hour. Then place it in a baking sleeve, release the air well and tie tightly. Cook in this form for at least half an hour per kilogram of weight. Then hang it in a draft again to dry.

How to dry a pork ham at home?

We want to tell you right away that to prepare this pork ham dish, you need to be patient, patient, and more patient.

Ingredients:

  • pork ham – 7 kg;
  • salt – 8-12 kg;
  • black pepper – 2 teaspoons;
  • – 0.5 kg;
  • ground coriander – 1 teaspoon.

Preparation

First, wash the ham well to remove soot stains after tarring; this is easier to do in warm water with the hard part of a dishwashing sponge. Then dry and thoroughly, in several passes, rub the skin, and especially the exposed part of the meat, with pepper and salt. Then find a non-oxidizing basin and add a layer of salt to the bottom. Place the ham on its side and cover it completely with salt, so that it covers the entire leg. The duration of this procedure directly depends on the weight of the ham, on average it is a day per kilogram. Cover the basin with cling film, and check the condition of the salt every 2 days (more often if possible). Pour out the separated liquid and add salt if it no longer covers the entire ham. Afterwards, wash the already salted leg and hang it out to dry. Rub with spices, paying special attention open meat, then this open meat needs to be covered with slices of lard. And then wrap the ham in five layers of gauze and tie it tightly with twine. Now all that remains is to hang the ham in a well-ventilated dark room with a temperature no higher than 8-10 degrees and a humidity of 60-70%, if the temperature rises over time by about 1 degree per week, this is ideal, but not higher than 15. And now how We have already said, be patient and wait at least five months.

Pork ham baked in foil in the oven or in a slow cooker

Ingredients:

  • part of pork ham – 1.5 kg;
  • garlic – 4 cloves;
  • basil;
  • oregano;
  • pepper;
  • paprika;
  • vegetable oil – 20 g;
  • salt.

Preparation

Let's say right away that there are two options - to cook the ham with the skin on, or without. If you like well-done skin, then you need to be more scrupulous in your choice of meat. The skin should be young, thin, white and without bristles. When purchasing, do not hesitate to pick it up and take a good look at it. Wash the meat and dry it well, then, if desired, sprinkle the meat with garlic and greased oil. Now thoroughly rub the ham dry with salt and pepper. Mix the remaining salt and pepper with spices and oil, then coat the ham completely. Wrap well in two layers of foil, securing it so that the juice does not leak out during baking. After waiting a couple of hours for the meat to marinate, you can put it in the slow cooker for 1 hour in the “Baking” mode, not forgetting to turn it over in the middle of cooking. Or put it in the oven at 180 degrees for 1.5 hours, and 20 minutes before the finish, open the foil and add 20 degrees.
