INSTRUCTIONS
Combine smoked ham and 12 cups water in heavy large saucepan or Dutch oven.
Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until ham is very tender and cooking
liquid is reduced to 8 cups, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer ham to bowl, using
slotted spoon. Cool slightly. Cut meat from bones; chop meat coarsely.
Skim fat from cooking liquid. Bring liquid to boil. Add sage. Reduce heat
to medium. Gradually whisk in cornmeal. Cook until mixture thickens,
stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Season cornmeal
mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Add chopped ham and stir vigorously
until combined. Pour mixture into two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans.
Refrigerate ponice until set. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover with
plastic and refrigerate.)
Turn out ponice and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Melt 1 tablespoon
butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add
ponice and cook until brown, adding more butter as necessary, about 5
minutes per side. Serve, passing maple syrup.
Makes 2 loaves.
