Amazing. It was moist tender and a great hit. Easy to make too. I didn't have a food processor so I just used a pastry knife that had four blades. First I cut in the cheese then the butter. I didn't add salt since these kinds of hams are salty on their own. Would recommend putting any decorations on with water before using the egg wash. I used the egg wash to put them on and a couple slid off. It was a hit with everyone.<\/p>","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"12\/25\/2012 01:40","GUID":"8621a68e835443e2b2df9a5020afef98","MemberId":6921984,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"AZGrndMom","SubmittedDate":"12\/25\/2012 01:39"},{"Comment":"

This is marvelous. Back in 1930's, my grandmother used to send her baked ham to a bakery to have them coat this wellington crust and bake it for everyone in the neighborhood. My mother wanted to make one when she was in her 70's, so we made up a recipe very similar to this one, and it was great!
