About the Cut: Ham

Cured ham is leg meat that has been dry- or wet-cured. Hams are labeled according to the amount of water added to the ham during the curing process. Because the leg muscle is a well-exercised part of the hog, ham is surprisingly low in fat.

Tips and Tricks

Butcher's Tips

All varieties of cured ham are either boneless or bone-in. Bone-in hams are traditionally considered more attractive and boneless are considered easier to serve because of simplified carving. Bone-in hams are available in a variety of shapes - whole or as a shank or butt half. Boneless hams also are available in a variety of sizes.

good

Have made twice. Once for a potluck and there were no leftovers. Tried it also with chopped brocolli instead of peas and it was good that way too. 

Better than from a box

So good. And it is simple enough just to make your own white sauce. I also added a 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg to the white sauce. I put the peas in with the pasta the last 2 minutes of the pasta cooking, then drained them together. Letting it rest a couple minutes before serving helps thicken it more. Though next time I may start with just 1 1/2 cups milk since it was a little loose. Husband thought it was a good ratio of pasta/peas/ham.
