Whole Ham:
Place the ham on a cutting board and trim off 2 or 3 slices, parallel to its length, from the thin side of the ham. Turn the ham so that it rests on the flat side created from trimming off the slices.
Hold firmly with a carving fork and starting at the shank end, cut slices across the ham, down to the bone.
After cutting the slices, cut parallel along the bone to release the slices. Place slices on a serving platter.
Turn the ham and continue to carve slices in the same manner.
