Steps:
- The afternoon before you plan to serve the ham, fill a very large kettle or pot or your sink with water. Soak ham 4 to 8 hours to lose some of the saltiness; change the water 2 or 3 times, if possible. Rinse well, and scrape off any mold or green rind.
- Wrap ham well in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet. At 7 p.m. the night before you plan to serve the ham, preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Place the wrapped ham in a large roasting pan filled with 1 inch of water, and bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven, but do not open the door. At 10 P.M., turn the oven back on to 500 degrees. Bake the ham for 15 minutes more. Turn off the oven, but do not open the door. Leave the ham in the closed oven overnight.
- Remove ham from the oven, then remove the aluminum foil. Using a very sharp knife, trim the rind and all the fat from the ham. Serve the ham warm or at room temperature; cut with a ham-slicing knife into very thin slivers.
COUNTRY HAM CHEESE BALL
This is very similiar to one offered by one of the local grocery stores here. Except they charge you almost $10.00 for it. Our family always makes an assortment of "finger foods" for our get-togethers. This is a good choice for grazing at a party! Please note that the prep/cook time does not include refrigeration time.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients, except almonds, in a large bowl.
- Form into a large ball, or two smaller balls, if you prefer.
- Pour the almonds into a pie plate, or onto a dinner plate.
- Roll the ball(s) in the almonds to coat.
- Place into a bowl or on a plate and refrigerate until firm.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cheesecake will be. Choose a good quality country ham, cream cheese, and sour cream. You can also use your favorite shredded cheese in place of the mozzarella cheese.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the cheesecake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help the cheesecake to set properly. You can chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Conclusion:
This country ham cheesecake is a delicious and unique twist on a classic dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With its smoky ham flavor and creamy texture, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
