2) Stripping Outer Layer off Ham Bone - where do I start?


As you can see from these pictures - there is a great deal of Quality Ham Meat on a $3 Ham Bone!


It is easy to see by the colour and texture which is fatty layer. It comes away from the meat in big chunks. Trim it all off until you are left with a trimmed Meaty Ham Bone.

1. Start by slicing down through the fat layer like in the photo - Do this all the way around. Don't worry about the bone impeding - just slice around as best you can - it doesn't have to be pretty.






2. Slice across towards the first downward slice.
Repeat all the way around until fat is removed.
Removing the thin layer of fat.







 Dice up pieces of outer layer and place into small containers to be made into pet food whenever you are ready to do it. Don't forget - Write a Description on the container! It freezes well for long term storage too.






This is the same Ham Bone with the Outer layer of Rind removed - Now you can carve it into usable pieces or leave it whole for a delicious Ham Bone Soup
