- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1/4 cup salt
Recipe Description
DESCRIPTION: Ham is delicious, and a tradition at many holiday parties. This AIP homemade ham recipe will wow the crowd every time you make it.
Why Make Homemade Ham?
Ham tends to be a heavily preserved meat. In addition to all the preservatives, most store-bought ham is swimming in sugar and may contain pepper as well.
Suffice to say off-the-shelf ham is not a great option for your autoimmune diet. Making it yourself is the best way to go.
And, with only 10 minutes of prep time, you’re not adding a lot of hassle and stress to your big dinner.
Recipe Directions
- Add the gammon, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, cloves, and salt to a large pot and fill with cold water.
- Bring the pot to a boil and remove any foamy impurities on top.
- Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover with a cartouche made with parchment paper (or half cover with a lid). Simmer for 90 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and allow the ham to cool in the liquid.
- Slice into thin pieces and enjoy with your favorite AIP-friendly condiments.
