This is fairly easy, but it helps if you have a sharp knife. Next, remove the membrane or sinew from the leg and the meat. The sinew, or fat, you’ll want to leave on. This will make your Ham look nicer and give you some fat. To remove the sinew, cut right around the Ham, leaving the sinew on the outside. Now, you can start cutting away the meat. You’ll want to leave a nice layer of fat on the bottom, but not on the top. You’ll also want to leave about a half inch of fat on all sides. This is so the Ham will cook evenly, so make sure to leave enough fat. Once you’re done, flip the Ham and repeat the same process on the other side. While this does help to make the Ham look nicer, you don’t need to remove the fat on the other side.
Remove the Skin and Bones
Remove the skin from the ham, rinse well and remove the bones from the ham. You can use your fingers to pull away the ham from the top, then cut away the fat to expose the meat. Place the ham into the refrigerator to chill. Then, trim off any meat on the bone and cut the ham into slices.
