Let's ham it up every day!

Aperfectly glazed ham is synonymous with the Christmas season. And for many Christmases past, that’s how Purefoods Fiesta Ham has been known for The Star of the Noche Buena Feast. Ahh, ham! It’s one of those food items that make you wish it were Christmas every day.

The good news is, one can now indulge in his/her favorite holiday fare all year round as Purefoods goes beyond the usual Yuletide festivities to prove that everyone can have that Noche Buena zeal in every occasion — whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary, a weekend family picnic or you’re simply bonding with gym mates or the barkada — with Purefoods Fiesta Ham Boneless.

“Filipinos celebrate Christmas with Purefoods Fiesta Ham. But there’s no reason why we shouldn’t enjoy it all year round. Starting this year, we want to make the ham accessible to consumers whenever they get a craving for it,” enthuses Purefoods Ham product category manager Mira de Leon.

And so, to make the most of your ham gorge, chef Jessie Sincioco of Chef Jessie Rockwell Club shared delightful and interesting ways on how to best enjoy Purefoods Fiesta Ham Boneless at a ham-laden lunch hosted by Purefoods.

Purefoods Hambassadors Christine Jacob-Sandejas, Suzi Entratra-Abrera, Danica Sotto-Pingris, and Barbie Almalbis-Honasan loved chef Jessie’s non-Christmas ham recipes so much that they now plan to serve the dishes during family occasions.

Ham do i love thee?

TV host Suzi Entrata-Abrera loves spending weekends at home with her husband Paolo Abrera and daughters Leona, Jade, and Nela.

“There’s a weekend market near our house so we just grab something from there and have our own little picnic at home. This summer, I need to come up with fun activities for the kids. And now that they’re a bit older, I can rely on them to help me with little chores in the kitchen like cutting up soft veggies, fruits, even Purefoods Fiesta Ham Boneless for salads, crepe pouches, and ham kebabs. With Purefoods Fiesta Ham, we can ham it up anytime,” Suzi shares.

??After a good workout, Christine Jacob-Sandejas likes to prepare salad and soup made with Purefoods Fiesta Ham Smoked Boneless.

Fitness buff and former Olympian Christine Jacob-Sandejas has an active lifestyle. She runs, plays tennis, and does yoga regularly. After a rigorous workout, she rewards herself with chef Jessie’s light and healthy salad drizzled with passion fruit dressing and topped with strips of Purefoods Fiesta Ham Boneless.

“I like mixing my greens with some protein and that’s where Purefoods Fiesta Ham Boneless comes in handy. It’s light and flavorful,” notes Christine. Complementing the salad is a creamy potato soup with ham bits.

Actress Danica Sotto-Pingris has mastered the art of capturing and recapturing her husband Marc’s heart, through his stomach. And so Danica was ecstatic when she savored chef Jessie’s Ham Wellington prepared with Purefoods Fiesta Ham Boneless.

“Marc and I just celebrated our wedding anniversary last March 3. I should have asked chef Jessie for this recipe earlier because it’s so good. Next year, the Ham Wellington will definitely be the star of our anniversary dinner. I’ll make sure of that,” Danica says with a grin.

Singer-songwriter Barbie Almalbis-Honasan now enjoys a rewarding life as wife to artist Martin Honasan and doting mom to daughter NoaStina and son Liam. Although she still writes songs and performs live, she now finds enjoyment in whipping up treats for her little ones like chef Jessie’s creamy pasta dish made with Purefoods Fiesta Ham.

“My kids will surely love the pasta dish, which is better than their fave carbonara. No kiddie parties should be without it,” Barbie says.

The Purefoods Hambassadors can now ham it up every day in the kitchen with Purefoods Fiesta Ham Boneless.
