Cooked York Ham - Off the Bone

Enlarge image

The York is the quintessential English ham - this has the bone removed for easier carving.

This is the ham that used to grace many a farmhouse table in days gone by. Sadly nowadays the pressure to process food quickly has meant that ham of this quality is no longer widely available. Dry cured and matured over a period of at least ten weeks, it develops a wonderful flavour and a firm yet succulent texture. The curing process means that the York is somewhat drier and saltier than the Wiltshire ham.

Please note that the main bones are removed, but the shank bone (which protrudes just a little way into the ham) is left in. If you order a half boneless ham you will either be sent a shank end (with the little bit of shank bone protruding) or the cushion end which will have no bone. With either half you will receive the same amount of ham, they just look slightly different!
