Boiled Country Ham?

You buy a country ham and boil it yourself. I just did one for Thanksgiving.

You don't actually boil it. Bring to a boil and then simmer it til internal temp reaches 160 F.

I bought a Broadbent country ham from their shop in Kuttawa, KY.
 
My MIL does it. Simmer on low for 20 min/lb in a broiler pan. Doesn't let the water get too low and pours it off 1/2 way through and refills.
 
Been a minute since I made one but it's pretty simple to do. I used an old metal lard stand, put in ham and fill up with water. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and let it sit for a couple of hours simmering. Take off heat, wrap lard stand with blankets (to hold in heat) for 24 hrs, drain off water and dig in. It's like eating candy.

This is grandma's way. Thank you just the way i want it.
