   Cut off a strip of fat from the outside rim of the ham, leaving a
   portion of the fat intact. Cut the strip of fat into small cubes.

   Put the cubed fat into a skillet, preferably of black cast iron, and
   cook, stirring, until the fat is rendered. Scoop out and discard the
   rendered pieces of fat. Add the ham slice to the skillet and fry
   until nicely browned on one side. Turn the slice and continue frying
   until brown and cooked through.
