Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Well! What you are calling ugly is what I have! I think it looks great. If you want pretty get a honey baked. If you want a good, home smoked ham, made by "you", that's a damn good loooking ham! I bet it tastes like heaven.
Looks like a win to me-I have a ham to do today but it is so cold & windy I am using the oven (only the 2 of us)
Like everyone else said, we learn from experience, and i haven't done one either, so am leary as well-Merry Christmas!
