What is a "fresh ham"

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
For me a ham is all or part of the hind leg of pork. If it is fresh it means that it is not cured and not cooked. I have seen some posts about fresh hams and I read a recioe that seemed to say that this they were talking about a cured ham....?[p]Thanks ahead of time for the clarification.

    BobS,[p] Fresh Hams are the meat that is used to make a ham minus the curing process. Usually sold bone-in. Sometimes they are referred to as Fresh Picnics. Least that was the way it was as I was being raised.

    BobS,
    Got a fresh ham a couple of years ago. Brined the fat little fells for about 3 days then cooked it (with lots of smoke) at about 300º for sevral hours. Was more like a really great roast. Next time I do one I'll treat it eggzakly like a roast. Wonderful flavor not overpowered by the smoke and the family loved it!

    BobS,
    I have read that if the 'Fresh' ham is not cured, it won't taste like Ham, but rather Pulled Por, or Roast.
