Kinja'd!!!

We’ll see how this goes.

I let it soak in the rum for an hour and after an hour in the oven at 300°F I just had to take a peek:

Kinja'd!!!

Far from done, but the boozy smell with ham smell is rather intoxicating.

Ok so 1 hour later we have this lovely specimen:

Kinja'd!!!

My whole kitchen smells of rum now. At 120° we still have at least another hour to go. Will report back then.

One more hour in the oven produced this:

Kinja'd!!!

Still not up to temp, so back in it goes for another hour. This time it has company:

Kinja'd!!!

Pineapple!

Another hour has passed and holy fuck, my whole house smells like a fucking luau. Behold:

Kinja'd!!!

So, after I poured the juice into a container to save for tomorrow. I put the ham onto an improvised cooling rack made of salad forks on a baking sheet for it to cool down significantly before I put it in the refrigerator. Ladies and Gentlemen, please allow me to introduce you to Rum Ham:

Kinja'd!!!

Yeah I sampled a few pieces, and yes it is absolutely beautiful.

This is the best thing I’ve seen on oppo. Make sure you don’t lose it in the ocean.

The gravy could be epic. Be sure to report back, because I’ll make it if it goes well.

This is a live blog. I’m going to let it soak for a few hours and then cook it.

Cool. Last TGiving I took a raw ham (whole leg) and cured it (instacure #1 - not brine) and smoked it..... This looks like an awesome way to heat and glaze. Let us know.

You should make a ham rum cocktail on the side. I’m thinking a Dr Pepper mixer would be good/gross

Coke mixed with the drippings from a rum ham sounds fantastic.

I’m just glad it’s not the other way around, with you trying to make ham-infused rum.

Someone once got us a bottle of bacon-flavored vodka as a joke and it was VILE.

Yes I’m thinking rum, ham drippings, POG (passion orange guava) juice, garnished with ham slices and pineapple

As someone who throws an annual bacon party (or “pork-luck” as I like to call it), I can tell you that there’s a lot of other terrible bacon flavoured things out there:
- Bacon gum balls
- Bacon toothpaste
- Chocolate maple bacon pop (soda)

Most of it just has a terrible smokey flavour. The bacon gum balls were like chewing on a piece of ham fat. The novelty wears off quickly.
