What is Ham?
Ham refers to meat from the hind leg and is typically cured and smoked. You can find boneless or bone-in hams.
Boneless hams are available in a variety of sizes and they’re considered easier to cut and serve. Bone-in hams are popular and come in a variety of sizes and cuts. A whole ham is perfect for feeding a group. When you cut a whole ham in half you end up with two cuts — a shank end, which is easier to carve, and a butt end which is leaner. Center slices are cut from the cross-section of either a butt or a shank.
