How do I choose a good ham?
assistant
Choose a ham that is free of pink color, mold and other signs of spoilage.2 Look for a ham with a thick layer of fat around it; this will help keep the ham moist during cooking.3 Try to find one that has been cured in a salt solution rather than injected with a brine solution.4 Check the expiration date on your ham and make sure you cook it within that time frame.5 When selecting a ham, look for one that has a nice marbling pattern throughout. Marbling is caused by the fat being distributed evenly throughout the meat.
