Hams

With a sharp knife cut round the knuckle and lengthwise along and right down to the edge of the bone until the aitch bone is reached; then make a straight cross-cut right around, and the bone can be removed. Keep the ham hung up in a dry place and when any slices are required as for frying or boiling they are easily obtained and the skin trimmed off.
