To Prepare your Ham for Cooking
Scrub the ham in warm water with a stiff brush to remove all mold, then rinse. Cut off the hock so the ham will fit in your pan (save the hock for seasoning later). Fill pan 2/3 full with tap water and soak the ham at room temperature for 12-24 hours (this helps remove salt and restore moisture). Discard water after soaking.
