====== City Ham ======

Cured city hams are wet-cured in brine, while country hams are dry-cured in salt and then aged. If the label says anything more than “ham” or “ham with natural juices,” don’t buy it. Also avoid boneless hams, which can be spongy.

Look for the shank end rather than the butt end because the shank end is easier to carve.
