EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Not sure what size ham to buy? Keep in mind that 1 pound of bone-in ham is enough for 2 servings.

A wide variety of dried fruits are now available at the supermarket. You could use dried blueberries, cherries or cranberries in place of the currants.

We only buy our pork products from a local butcher. These would not be considered, pre-cooked. It would then require the full 7 hours cook time in the recipe.

Ham is generally pre cooked so any recipe will be warming the ham.
