DukesHill, one of the UK's leading artisan ham producers, has produced a special edition DukesHill Candied Orange Glazed Ham (whole min 4kg £125, half min 2kg £80) for Christmas. Made using time-honoured curing techniques, this unique festive ham is a delectable alternative to turkey for the big day, the perfect centerpiece for a Boxing Day feast, and as a filling for pies and sandwiches to see you through Twixmas.

DukesHill's Candied Orange Glazed Ham is a delicious honey-glazed Wltshire ham, topped with sliced candied oranges.  Handmade using DukesHill's traditional Wiltshire cure, the ham spends almost a week maturing in DukesHill's own recipe brine. Unlike other curing processes, DukesHill adds a touch of unrefined brown sugar to their brine recipe to add a subtle and mild sweetness.

The ham is then air-dried for a further week to mature and remove excess moisture before being steam-cooked for 12 hours, allowing the fat to render and soften to provide a buttery texture.  Once cooked the ham is then inspected, hand-skinned and trimmed, then topped with a honey glaze and sliced oranges. The resulting ham has a lovely mild taste and a moist texture, complimented by  a sweet orange & honey flavour.

From its humble beginnings in a converted Shropshire cowshed in the 1980s, DukesHill is renowned for its traditionally cured ham and handmade artisan produce that's sourced from like-minded producers who share their commitment to quality and craftsmanship.  Their Wiltshire ham is sold in Selfridges, Harrods and Fortnum & Mason, and supplied to iconic London hotels like The Ritz and The Goring.
