Theo's Tips and Facts

Christmas is not the same without a glazed ham, to get the best quality pork Theo visits Marcos Fussy Meats in Yangebup.
Only 3 hours away from Perth Marcos Fussy Meats sources the best local free-range pork from the Mount Barker region and that is from Plantagent Pork. Caring for your meats starts at the farm.
For best results loosen up the skin of your leg ham around the sides and slowly peel it back, whilst keeping as much fat as possible on your leg.
Score diamonds across the leg and place some cloves in between the lines for maximum flavour.
You can dress the leg with cherries and pineapples and the sweetness of the fruits will cook through the fat. For best results skewer the fruits into the ham and remember to remove before eating.
Use your favourite glaze to pour over the top and cook for 10 minutes. Repeat the process 4 times.
