Step 2
Use a strainer to remove the ham and drain the liquid. Make one straight cut, remove the femur and shin bones, roll the ham in one direction into a cylinder shape, wrap tightly and densely with hemp twine, place into the soup pot and simmer for another 2.5 hours. Remove, drain the liquid, cool, then unwrap the hemp twine and peel off the skin. Trim into a round cylindrical shape with a knife, then use a sharp knife to cut across into 1 mm thin round slices, arrange on a plate and serve.
