What is clove ham?
Anqing's famous dish "Lilac Ham" should first introduce the Yingbin Building outside the south gate (now the gate of the waterworks), and the introduction of Yingbin Building should start with "Lilac Ham". Lilac is a kind of plant, which blooms in summer and has lilac flowers, and its fragrance floats in the night wind. Eating vegetables with cloves is an exotic delicacy. This dish is usually on the Thanksgiving menu in Europe and America, but it is called "honey ham" with a different name (or practice). This word "honey" is very important, even if you don't eat it, you can read it. It is salty with sweetness and sweet with saltiness. I read a text that vividly described "honey-juice ham", saying that after adding sugar juice to ham, it should be wrapped with pineapple slices for decoration. So a sharp round clove came in handy-pointed into the uncut ham meat, exposing the round head to support the pineapple slices stuck outside the ham. During the cooking process, the fragrance of cloves naturally penetrates into it.

Of course, the main ingredient of "clove ham" is ham, and Zhejiang Jinhua is naturally the first choice for ham. It is said that the production technology of Jinhua ham is extremely complicated. "Salty salt must be salty, and cigarettes must be loose" is really a "dogma". Even Yuan Mei, a diner, lamented: You can win the championship in three years, but you can't produce good ham in three years! The most important process of "clove ham" is the word "roast", which is precisely the weakness of local chefs. It is said that before baking, several fields should be drawn on the ham skin with a knife according to a certain direction and procedure, and then cloves should be inserted between the fields to make it look like "pineapple eyes". When baking, be sure to put the fat side of the ham up and pour honey juice on it while baking. So many times, let the "clove ham" completely inhale the honey juice. The whole baking process takes an hour, and the final "clove ham" is delicious and delicious. When the plate is served, don't look, don't taste, close your eyes, the delicious food has been printed in your mind. Hope to adopt, thank you.
