Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot place the ham and cover it with a vinegar/water solution (see note) until the ham has about an inch of liquid over it. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat down to medium so that it isn’t splashing everywhere and allow to boil for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. My ham was 4 kg and I boiled it for 2 1/2 hours which was perfect, all the meat came off the bone easily.

Take the ham from the pot and pull the meat off of the bone, shredding it with two forks, and discarding the fat and bones. It should shred very easily. Layer half the shredded meat in a large baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, dry mustard and orange juice. Drizzle half of this mixture over the shredded ham. Layer the other half of the meat on top of this and drizzle with the rest of the brown sugar mixture. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. At this point you can refrigerate the ham until you’re ready to bake it, up to a couple of days ahead of time.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Bake the ham for one hour and enjoy!
