CHRISTMAS HAM Julskinka
Most Swedes serve ham at Christmas. It can be baked, boiled or bought already pre-cooked. A broiled glaze made from mustard and breadcrumbs makes the Christmas ham complete. The ham should weigh at least 5 pounds if it's going to be baked. It's served at the Christmas smorgasbord together with mustard, applesauce and red cabbage. 1 ham, 5 - 15 lb, lightly salted, bone-in or boneless Broiled glaze (for a 7 1/2 lb ham): 1 egg 3 tbs mustard 1 tsp sugar 2 - 3 tbs fine dried breadcrumbs Quickly rinse the ham in cold water. Wrap in aluminum foil. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake in oven until thermometer shows 165F. Allow 25 - 40 minutes per pound. Remove ham from oven and loosen the rind. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Mix together egg, mustard and sugar to make a glaze. Coat the ham with the glaze. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, place in oven set at 400F and broil until golden brown.
