How to Boil Hams

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the water to 155°F (68°C).

  2. Place the hams in the hot water and keep them submerged for 8 to 9 hours, depending on their size.

  3. Maintain the water temperature as close to 155°F (68°C) as possible.

  4. Once cooked, allow the hams to remain in the water until it is nearly cold to re-absorb nutrients.

  5. Refrigerate overnight to chill thoroughly before slicing.
