BASIC RECIPE HOMEMADE CHICKEN, TURKEY OR PORK HAM
1 kg cuts of chicken or turkey breast or leg of pork/shoulder of pork, 18 g table salt, 4 g curing salt,
1 dl water, 4 g (1 tsp.) icing sugar
Preparation of the meat mass: Cut approx. two thirds of the meat into small cubes, about
2x2 cm large, process the rest in a meat grinder or chop in a mixer. Prepare a solution of salt,
curing salt and sugar with 1 dl water and blend this with the cut meat. Blend the meat mass very
thoroughly in a food processor with kneading hooks (for at least 10 minutes, or 20 minutes if you
do this manually). Fill the ham maker with the meat mass up to approx. 1 cm below the upper rim.
Press the meat content well after introducing every layer. Attach the lid, put the ham maker into the
refrigerator and leave to rest for 48 hours.
Stewing ham: Follow exactly the instructions for use when stewing ham. Always leave the stewed
ham to cool before dividing it. It will remain fresh and tasty for about two days in the refrigerator.
