ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a natural appearing miniature bone-in ham and a miniature ham formed by the method, the method including trimming a small quantity of ham pieces to remove fat, injecting the ham pieces with a cure solution and macerating and tumbling the injected pieces for a predetermined period of time. A portion of the ham pieces are then placed into a miniature ham stuffing horn or mold, and a substitute bone is precisely positioned into the treated ham pieces by making an appropriately located incision. The balance of the ham pieces is then added to the stuffer or mold in a manner to prevent movement of the positioned substitute bone and the generation of voids. The ham and encapsulated substitute bone are then stuffed into a miniature casing or mold and cooked in a conventional manner. Once cooked, the finished miniature ham is cut in half across the substitute bone in such a way as to make two natural appearing miniature bone-in ham halves with a decidedly lower fat content than natural bone-in hams.
