It is necessary
-
- Boiled pork leg
- Ham;
- 4 liters of apple juice;
- 3 bay leaves
- carnation
- salt
- black pepper.
- Boiled pork leg in honey glaze
- boiled pork leg;
- cloves (about 40-50 buds);

Instructions
Step 1
Boiled pork leg Before smoking or drying pork, it is often boiled. The same is sometimes done with this meat before baking. There is also a number of dishes where boiled pork must be added according to the recipe.
Step 2
If there is no skin on the leg, and you are going to subject it to further processing after boiling, wrap the cut in cheesecloth so that the meat does not flake off.
Step 3
Place the pork leg in a large saucepan. In width, it should be such that the meat lies tight enough in it, almost touching the walls. Cover with apple juice. If the juice does not completely cover the meat, you can add warm boiled water. Add spices and put on high heat.
Step 4
When the apple juice boils, reduce heat to medium and skim the broth. Cover the pot with a lid, turn the heat down to minimum and cook the meat for 25 minutes per kilogram.
Step 5
When the meat is done, turn off the heat, remove the lid and let the ham cool in the broth.
Step 6
Boiled pork leg in honey crust Remove the skin, if any, from the boiled pork leg. It is important to leave 1, 5-2 centimeters of fat under it. Take a knife and apply a mesh of longitudinal and transverse cuts to the fat. In each resulting square (their size should be about 2 by 2 centimeters), stick 1 clove bud in the middle. Spread out cling foil and wrap the meat in it. Place on a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 220 ° C. Bake for about 20 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the meat from the oven, remove about half of the clove buds and brush the ham with runny honey. Without covering with foil, place the meat back in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes. During this time, you can water the pork with the released fat 1-2 times. A sauce made from caramelized onions, white wine and cream works well with this ham.
