🧂 Ingredientes
- 2.6 kg Ham (cooked and smoked)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Bread crumbs
- 1 liter Boiling water
👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F) with convection heat.

Remove the ham from the refrigerator and unpack it. Remove and discard the net, if present. Score the skin diagonally in each direction.

Place the ham on a rack over an ovenproof dish. Pour 1 liter of boiling water into the dish below the rack.

Place the dish in the middle of the preheated oven. Cook the ham for approximately 2.5 hours, or until the core temperature reaches 70°C (158°F). Refill with water if the dish under the ham dries out.

While the ham is cooking, mix the ingredients for the glaze (Dijon mustard, brown sugar, bread crumbs) together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
