Brady Family Precooked Baked Ham 2.25kg

First, it is slow cured in natural well water for at least 3 days, on the bone. This is what gives our hams their distinctive flavour.

It is then slow cooked in a steam oven, which allows the ham to mature and develop its distinctive flavour.

Finally, the rind and fat (which give the ham its flavour and succulence during cooking) are removed. The ham is then coated by hand with breadcrumbs or else glazed before being oven baked to release the flavours of the ham.

The ham is ready to eat but can be reheated if desired. Heating times vary with appliances, the following are guidelines only. Do not reheat the ham more than once.

To reheat whole ham:
• Pre-heat oven to 180C (Fan Oven 160) / Gas Mark 4
• Wrap the ham with parchment paper and then tinfoil
• Place ham on a rack placed in a roasting tray with approximately 2cm of water in the base. For extra flavour, the water can be replaced with cider or add some spice such as star anise, cloves, cinnamon or a bay leaf to the water
• Gently steam cooks your ham, allowing 1 hour for each kg of weight. Top up the water in the roasting tray if necessary during cooking
• Increase the temperature to 200C (Fan Oven 180) / Gas Mark 6 and remove the wrapping for the final 20 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize giving a golden finish.

To reheat slices:
• Pre-heat oven to 200C (Fan Oven 180) / Gas Mark 6
• Generously carve your slices of ham to the desired thickness
• Evenly spread the sliced ham over a rack placed in a roasting tray with approximately 2cm of water in the base. For extra flavour, the water can be replaced with cider or add some spice such as star anise, cloves, cinnamon or a bay leaf to the water
• Cover over the roasting tray with tin foil
• Gently steam cook your sliced ham for 20-25minutes
