Fra’ Mani Sweet Apple Ham comprises three major muscles of the pork leg - inside round, outside round and eye of round. The legs are trimmed carefully, leaving a thin layer of flavorful cover fat on the outside. The muscles are lightly brined, formed by hand into a teardrop shape, trussed, and lightly smoked over natural hardwood. Fra’ Mani Sweet Apple Ham has an appealing light pink complexion and is infused with the flavors of apple juice and brown sugar, two major components of the brine. Fra’ Mani Hot Ham is made from the knuckle of the pork leg, situated above the shank on the bottom of the pork leg.
