Preparation step by step

*Note for préparation

Reserve the last hour of cooking for the maple glaze.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325ºF or 160ºC.

Step 2

Take the Lévesque ham out of its packaging, remove the mesh and any other packing material that may be included. Then, cut the rind into a grid using a knife. Place in a roasting pan or a baking dish with a lid.

Step 3

In a bowl, pour the cider vinegar, mustard and spices and whisk a few moments, then add the water and the broth and pour the liquid over the picnic. Finally, add the sprig of rosemary.

Step 4

Place the lid on the dish and cook in oven during 45 min / kg or 20 min / lb. Baste regularly with the cooking juices, then turn halfway through cooking. When cooked, the internal temperature should reach 160ºF or 71ºC and the meat should come off easily with a fork. (If your dish does not have a lid, be sure to baste the picnic every 15 to 20 minutes to prevent the meat from drying out.)

Step 5

In a bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing the maple syrup and the melted butter. Generously baste the ham with the mixture 2 to 3 times during the last hour of cooking.

Step 5

Once it is cooked, remove the ham from the dish and place it on a large serving plate. Serve hot.
