Steps

1 Done	Boil the whole chicken in enough water (do not salt the water) with bay leaf, black pepper, carrots and onions. The meat should become tender and easily fall off the bone (about 1.5 hours). Take out the chicken and let it cool slightly. Once the chicken has cooled down, separate the meat, which should give you approximately 800 g of meat. Next, strain the broth and remove the vegetables. Reheat 1.2 liters of the broth and continue boiling it on high heat until it reduces to one-third, resulting in 400 ml of broth. Once the broth has boiled down, let it cool down until it's under 70 degrees Celsius.
2 Done	Soak gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes until it swells. Next, dissolve it in hot broth (make sure it's not hotter than 70 degrees Celsius).
3 Done	Combine chicken meat, gelatin-infused broth, spices, and boiled beets in a food processor. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree with a light pink hue. Depending on the capacity of your food processor, the beets may remain in grains. If you prefer a completely smooth color, consider using beet juice instead of boiled beets.
4 Done	Transfer the resulting mixture into a glass dish and refrigerate for at least four hours. Within this time, the ham will harden and can be cut into slices just like sausage. Bon Appétit!
