Homemade Ham, the Star of our Noche Buena

Noche Buena is Spanish for “good night”.In the Philippines, it is a feast with the entire family in the evening of December 24,usually at midnight. It is done after the entire family has attended the late evening Christmas eve mass.

Of course, Noche Buena won’t be the same without its star– the Christmas Ham. You can usually buy ham at the grocery and everywhere else during the season but I prefer my mom’s homemade ham because it’s very tasty.My mom has been making ham for , I think, more than 30 years now. When we were still selling meat at the local wet market, most of our customers or “suki” would order ham during the Christmas season and I remember my mom making Ham in big batches. It was a hit! Of course, I asked her for the recipe.

Ingredients:
Pork Shoulder [kasim], big chunk around 1kg
4 tbsp white sugar
1½ tbsp salt
¼ tsp praque powder
¼ tsp msg
1 cup of local Gin
2-3 cups Pineapple Juice
Brown Sugar

Direction:

  • Combine white sugar, salt, praque, msg and gin in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Using a knife make incisions in your block of meat.
  • The sugar and salt won’t be dissolved in the gin right away.Rub your sugar-salt mixture outside the meat and put some in the incisions that you made,as well.
  • Set aside in the fridge for 15 days or more with the marinade, taking it out every other day to put some of the marinade inside the incisions.
  • After, 15 days, take it out of the fridge and boil your ham in Pineapple juice for 25 minutes.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes then put ham in a baking tray, fat side up.
  • Put brown sugar on top of it, enough to cover the fat. Roast in an oven at 220° until nice and brown and the sugar on top has melted into glaze.

This is my first entry. Thank you for welcoming me at the Kulinarya Cooking Club.

    […] Hams would always be the star of the Noche Buena feast and we always make our own. I tried making homemade ham back in 2009 using my mom’s recipe because I just loved it so much and I want to replicate […]

I want to create more bonding moments as we try to be more adventurous with different kinds of food. Over the weekend, we made this Banana Cupcake with Peanut Butter Frosting which is perfect for snacks during the week, kapag school day na. 

Sarap! Banana and peanut butter is really the perfect combination and it's made creamy with Nestle All Purpose Cream. We got the Creamspiration from www.creatwithcream.ph. Nakaka-excite! Kasi marami pa kaming recipes na gustong i-try sa mga susunod na araw. 

Kayo, anong mga recipes ang gusto nyong i-try lutuin this year?
