Morrisons Honey Cured Ham
What it is
This is a type of cured pork product. It is made by preserving pork with salt and then adding honey during the curing process. The honey imparts a subtle sweetness and helps to create a tender texture. It is typically sold pre-sliced and ready to eat, making it a convenient option for various meals and snacks.
How people cook with it

- Sandwich filling
- Breakfast side
- Salad topping
- Appetizer component
You can use this ham straight from the package for sandwiches, wraps, or to add to a charcuterie board. For a warm dish, it can be lightly pan-fried until it is just heated through, or added to omelets and scrambled eggs. It also works well as a flavorful addition to pasta dishes or baked goods. The honey in the cure gives it a pleasant sweetness that complements many flavors, making it suitable for both savory and slightly sweet preparations.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other cured hams, honey cured ham stands out due to the distinct sweetness from the honey. This sweetness is usually more pronounced than in dry-cured hams or those cured with only salt and spices. The honey also contributes to a softer, more yielding texture.
