How to Carve Your Christmas Ham
A step by step guide to carving a Christmas ham starts with placing the ham fat side up and shank end to the carver. It advises slicing from the thin side, then rotating the ham to rest on sliced sections. Then cut a small wedge from the shank end and slice thinly along the leg bone. Horizontal cuts release slices, and rotating back to the original position allows cuts at right angles to the bone to yield more slices.
