• 1 kilo ham, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup pork fat, sliced thinly
  • 2 whole pickles, sliced thinly
  • 1 medium-sized carrot, cut into strips

Pork Hamonado combines the sweet taste of pork with the aromatic and tangy pineapple chunks. Curing your own Pork Hamonado may be a little bit time consuming but it is a very rewarding task. Pair this tender and full-flavored Pork Hamonado with steamed white rice and place it at the center of your very own Christmas dining table in preparation for the Christmas Holiday Season.

 How to Make Pork Hamonado Recipe:

  1. Combine the sugar, salt and saltpeter on a large plate.  Rub the ham with this mixture thoroughly, making sure that the meat is coated well.
  2. On a large platter, arrange the ham, pork fat, pickles, carrots, and pineapple chunks alternately.
  3. Form the meat and other ingredients into a roll by tying a thread around them.  Make sure the thread is thick enough to hold the meat and other ingredients together.  Save any drippings from the meat roll.
  4. Combine the meat drippings, pineapple juice, and the juice drained from the pineapple chunks.  Marinate the meat in this mixture overnight.
  5. Boil the meat for 1 hour.  Cut the thread tied around the meat roll.  Let the meat cool for a few minutes.
  6. Garnish the meat roll ( on top and on the sides) with the pineapple slices.
