The main
dish at a Swedish Christmas buffet (julbord) is the Christmas ham (julskinka).
This dish has a very
long tradition.
In our
family, we prefer to have a Christmas ham which is sugar salted and then
smoked. This type of ham is most common in southern Sweden . The majority of Swedes do
not want smoked ham on Christmas.
Earlier, it
was common practice to boil ham yourself. This year we bought a ham, which is
ready cooked.
Because the
ham is already cooked it shall only grill after coating with egg and
breadcrumbs. We mix mustard and one egg. The batter is brushed on the ham. Then
we sprinkle breadcrumbs ("ströbröd" or "skorpmjöl") over it.
Then it's time to grill the ham in the oven for 15 minutes in
When it has cooled slightly, you can cut slices and enjoy.
This
preparation for the Christmas Eve buffet, we do already the day before
Christmas Eve - that is on December 23.
