One tradition on Christmas Eve is to remember relatives, acquaintances, friends who has past away, by takeing candles to their grave. For many people, Christmas starts when you go to cemetery. It's really peaceful and sacred experience.
Everyone always ask me, what people in Finland eat at Christmas? The answer is ham. In finnish: Joulukinkku. Every year people make around 2,5 million hams on Christmas. This is how Finnish ham looks like.
This year we decided to make our own "ham". We bought 1 kg pork and salt it for 3 days. Then put it in oven to a mild temperature, 110C and toke out when temperature inside of the meat was 75C.
