A ham product and method for production thereof described herein separate
bone-in hams into smaller pieces. Accordingly, pieces of bone-in ham,
even those spirally-sliced, will be available to consumers in smaller
portions. Unlike conventional methods, however, the ham product and
method for production does not cut the femur bone longitudinally. As a
result, one piece of the bone-in ham has substantially no bones. A method
for separating a bone-in ham comprises the steps of providing a first
separation through the ham to provide a first portion and a second
portion, and providing a second separation through the first portion,
wherein only one of the first separation or second separation is through
a femur bone.
