The festive season is always a time for searching for new recipe ideas and inspiration. Nothing inspires us more than people who embrace the philosophy of Meraki and @tessakiros oozes this ethos through her amazing work.

We’ll be using a recipe from her book Provence to Pondicherry as inspiration to create the ultimate Banh Mi using Andrew’s fine liver pate and leftover ham and pork from our festive feast.

If you’re glazing your ham you can’t go past a 100% @australianpork Traditional Ham On Bone. It makes a sensational centrepiece, and being cooked on the bone gives it a lovely depth of flavour. Follow our top tips to ensure you keep your ham moist and succulent.
👑 Andrew’s hams are hot smoked and oven roasted which means they’re already cooked.
👑 Remove your ham from the fridge a couple of hours before you’re going to glaze it so it doesn’t need to be in the oven for too long.
👑 Use a bain marie of water in your oven to keep the heat nice and moist so your ham doesn’t dry out
👑 Make sure your ham and glaze are warm, this will help you glaze adhere to the ham.
👑 Just before serving apply a final brush of warm glaze for a lustrous finish

Made with Meraki, this Pomegranate glazed ham with Sour Cherry and Mastic embraces both heritage and modern day life in Australia.

With gleaming, ruby pomegranate seeds this ham will sparkle as the centre of your Christmas table.

@melpomeni.matthews has shared her recipe using traditional ingredients. The sweet sour cherry and thyme flavours are balanced by the addition of the mastic gum and it’s distinct earthy flavour, taking this glaze to the next level.

We’d love to know how how you glaze your ham!

INGREDIENTS
7kg Andrew’s Choice Ham
3/4 cup sour cherry conserve
1/2 cup brown sugar
¼ cup olive oil
½ cup pomegranate juice
6 sprigs of thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground mastic gum (or to taste )
2-3 whole fresh pomegranate, seeds removed to decorate

METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Place the sour cherry conserve, sugar, olive oil, pomegranate juice and thyme in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine. Simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes. Add the mastic gum and simmer for a further 5 min or until the glaze has thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. To remove the skin off the ham, use a sharp knife to score the skin around the hock, then use your fingers to gently separate and remove the skin from the ham.

3. Place the ham on a lightly greased wire rack in a baking dish or tray lined with non-stick baking paper and brush with the glaze. Cook for 40–50 minutes, brushing with the glaze every 10 minutes, or until the ham is warmed through, golden and caramelised.

4. Once slightly cooled sprinkle the ham with the pomegranate seeds pressing them into the sticky glaze.

5. Serve at room temperature with any remaining glaze on the side.

Hip Hip Hooray it’s our birthday! 🥳

16 years ago today we opened the doors of Andrew's Choice in Laverton and turned on our Smokehouse for the first time. Having only ever worked in my own butcher shop, taking this step was a massive leap. Loaded with a passion for charcuterie and the support of my family, I was ready and it was all hands on deck!

A massive thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way!🧡
