👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 100-125°C (210-255°F).

   💡 Proffstips: A low and slow cooking temperature is key to a juicy ham.
2. 2

   Rinse the ham with cold water and pat it dry. Place the ham in a roasting bag (if using) and then into a large roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham, avoiding the bone.

   💡 Proffstips: Using a roasting bag helps keep the ham moist. Ensure the thermometer is placed correctly for accurate temperature reading.
3. 3

   Bake for approximately 45-55 minutes per kilogram (2.2 lbs) until the internal temperature reaches 75-80°C (167-176°F).

   💡 Proffstips: The total cooking time will vary depending on the size of the ham.
4. 4

   Carefully remove the ham from the oven. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Remove the roasting bag (if used), net, skin, and as much fat as desired.

   💡 Proffstips: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender ham.
5. 5

   Increase oven temperature to 225°C (435°F). Mix the Finnish mustard, brown sugar, and breadcrumbs (and honey, if using) to form a paste. Spread this mixture evenly over the ham.

   💡 Proffstips: Ensure the ham is evenly coated with the glaze for consistent browning.
6. 6

   Decorate the ham surface with whole cloves. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and slightly crisp.

   💡 Proffstips: Place cloves in a decorative pattern for a festive look.
7. 7

   Remove from oven and let it rest briefly before carving and serving.

   💡 Proffstips: Serve warm.
