Carving TipsStep 1. Place ham skin side up.

Then run a small, sharp knife

under the rind around the

bottom (opposite end to hock)

and each side of the ham to

about halfway up towards the

hock. Peel the rind back.

Step 2. Run the tip of the knife around

the bone, on the underside of

the ham. Begin to slice on a

slight angle down to the bone.

Step 3. Run your knife lengthways

along the bone to remove

slices. Continue to slice

towards the hock.

Step 4. Continue slicing down to the

bone, working your way around

the ham. When you’ve reached

about a third to the way up, you

can remove the bone by making

a few short cuts at the joint.
