Bone in Ham
What is Bone in Ham?
Ham is a cut of meat from the back leg of a pig. The picnic, bacon, and Canadian bacon are not considered ham. It is sometimes sold with the bones of the leg left in as “bone in ham.” Some butchers provide bone in ham, and the cut tends to be specially popular during the holiday season, leading grocery stores to carry it as well. Bone in ham tends to be more juicy and flavorful, although it will also have a longer cooking time.
A bone in ham can come in a number of forms. In some cases, when a ham is cut in half, a part called the “center slice” is removed. The center slice is an especially tender, flavorful cut of meat, and it tends to be highly attempted after. Once ham is separated into cuts, it can be left whole with the bone in, or it can be further processed.
