How do you get rid of excess salt in a picnic ham?

To reduce excess salt in a picnic ham, you can soak it in water for several hours or overnight to help leach out some of the salt. Alternatively, you can boil the ham in water for about 30 minutes, which will also reduce the saltiness. After soaking or boiling, make sure to rinse the ham thoroughly before cooking it to eliminate any residual salt. Additionally, pairing the ham with unsalted side dishes can help balance the overall saltiness of the meal.
