Christmas Ham Query

organic_wanabe

I wonder if anyone can offer advice. My DH bought an Orange, Honey & Rosemary Christmas Ham at Waitrose. Don't even ask how much it cost - it is the last time he gets sent shopping! It was my fault for not giving him more precise instructions. Anyway, I had expected a ham which I would cook (for the lovely stock). However, I see this one is pre-cooked. I wondered if it would be possible to wrap it in foil and gently heat it as I prefer it hot to cold, but obviously I don't want to spoil it. Also, can anyone suggest a good sauce? I would like a change from Cumberland Sauce.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

You can only safely re-heat a cooked meat once, so I'd only heat small bits as you're going to eat it & keep the rest cold (that way you can keep it for other meals/sandwiches etc).
I love mustard/marmalade glaze poured over gammon, but hubby's favourite is spiced apple/pear sauce.
Sounds like it was expensive...but I hope it's lovely!

it sounds lovely - but I do understand you like to cook your own, as do I. like the above poster I would suggest just reheating portions. I do it in the microwave by putting slices (not overlapping) on the plate then giving it just one minute in the ding. I usually find this enough to reheat thoroughly without drying it out. (I have to do this with any cold sliced meat for grandson who HATES cold meat of any description).
I hope you enjoy every mouthful!

ditto to it sounds lovely, what about an apple and cider sauce, x

And if its a big ham, you could slice it thickly and put some in the freezer for another time....
