OK... I have one...One Easter Sunday morning my mom was getting ready to put a ham into the oven but first she had to cut the ends ofthe ham THEN she placed it into the rather large roasting pan there was so much room you could place almost the entire dinner into the pan. I asked her why she cut the ends, she said because her mom did. So I asked grandma why, she said because her mom did...I asked greatgrandma why, she said because HER mom did...well, since she wasn't alive I dug through some of her old recipes and found one for "baking a ham" that she wrote. Step 1 - Get roasting panStep 2 - Season ham with cloves, pepper, pieapples (optional) and any other seasoning to tasteStep 3 - Place ham into panStep 4 - Cut ends of ham so it fits into the pan Nothing like following a tried and true process .... or would this be considered "tribal knowledge"???
