Thought? Ideas? Recipes?

You absolutely can. It might be great.
Makes me thing about doing it the way you suggested (grinding fine) but also doing a dice as well (like a ham sausage) as well.
Garlic YES !! maybe even do a small batch with high temp cheese in it too. Smoked Gouda, Pepper Jack or even a nice Cheddar.
If you are not likely going to eat those hams (as whole hams) you might as well put them to use and make something great with it.
