Funny story about the red casing. Baked a ham once that was handed out at work. Took it out the bag, rinse it, put on some brown sugar rub. Covered it with pineapple rings and cherrys, like we used to and bake according to instructions. When came time to carve, my BIL did the honors. He came and asked me about the dark red stuff. The slices had rings, like some bologna. Well, we peeled the rest before carving. All the flavor went into the trash! lol
