Honey Ham Brine
World Salad Dressing Champion
Easter is just around the corner and yes, I would rather you and your family come to brunch at Magnolia and May but in case you aren’t I’m going to give you the recipe for a KILLER honey ham! This ham can be the center piece for a memorable brunch at home with the family and guess what? It’s super easy to make!
Honey Ham Brine
The Ingredients
One Ham (Can be bone in or boneless)
1 gallon of water
1/2 cup Salt
2 cups of Honey
1 bunch Rosemary
1 bunch thyme
5 cloves of Garlic
1 Tablespoon ground Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Red Pepper Flake
Git-R-Done
Step 1: Place all ingredients (Except the ham) in a pot and boil to make the salt and honey disolve.
Step 2: Place Ham in a vessel large enough to hold ham and brine.
Step 3: Allow brine to cool.
Step 4: Cover Ham in brine and let sit in the refrigerator for a week.
Step 5: Pull ham off brine after a week and cook it!
Pro Tip: Do not use a spiral cut ham for this. For the most part they come already cooked and seasoned.
Pro Tip 2: You can use this for pork chops! Just brine the chops overnight and you’re good to go.
Cheers!
