Hi Everyone,We are spending Christmas

You have to ask your butcher for a "coscia di maiale con cotenna" and give him the approximate wight you want, usually 4-5 kilos. Actually, some Italian families prepare a very similar type of ham. You only have to search for "prosciutto cotto fatto in casa"  or "casalinga" and you will find plenty of recipes and adice, all in Italian. Here goes an example: http://www.ricette.com/prosciutto-cotto-fatto-in-casa/Give the butcher plenty of time to fill up your order.

Thanks! That is really helpful!Jessica

Happy to help! 

This sounds so good even I have to try this! Also I love adding grapes next to either the ham or turkey (washed and prepped with a little olive oil, salt & pepper) it's a delicious side that has a very distinctive sweet & salty flavor.
