How To Carve A Bone In Ham?

Let the ham rest 15 to 20 minutes after cooking

Place the ham on a stable cutting board with the bone side down

Use a sharp carving knife and a carving fork

Cut a thin slice from the bottom to create a flat base

Locate the bone and the natural seam around it

Make a deep cut along one side of the bone, following its curve

Slice down to the bone, then cut around it to release a large section

Remove the first large section and place it flat on the board

Slice that section against the grain into even pieces

Repeat on the other side of the bone

Trim any remaining meat from around the bone

Cut smaller pieces from the shank end and butt end

Keep slices uniform in thickness

Serve immediately or cover to keep warm
