    Noche Buena Dish: Majestic Chinese Ham

    chinese Ham
    Noche Buena is never complete without the traditional chinese Ham. I always choose Majestic Ham because it isn’t too salty for me. The secret to their moist, mouthwatering ham products is in their curing process. Their hams are cured in oak barrels, aged for full flavor, and seasoned with select spices before being cooked to perfection. It’s my preference, of course especially since they are so established with 70 years of curing and cooking ham to perfection under their belt.

    The common glaze used is pineapple but this time, I used Apple-cinnamon glaze.

    Here’s the recipe for Chinese Ham with Apple Cinnamon Glaze:

    Ingredients
    1 2 to 3 kilos Chinese Cooked Ham
    2 cups Apple Juice
    1/4 cup cherry brandy
    1 1/2 cups brown sugar
    1 medium apple , chopped
    2 pieces bay leaf
    1 tsp cinnamon powder
    slices of green and red cherries
    toasted cashew nuts
    celery leaves

    Leftover Ham Recipes: Pochero

    recycling leftover ham

    Now that the two noche buena feasts are set aside, there’s a lot of extra food especially ham. In our case, we had a lot of Majestic Ham leftovers. The best thing to do is to recycle the leftover Christmas Ham for an even tastier dish. In fact, I got this idea from web searches on noche buena recycling.

    Since we had a boned-in ham, we recycled the bone and ham bits by cooking Beef Pochero aka Cocido
