BAKED HAM,
MRS. E. A. W. PERRY.
Lay a good-sized ham, without cleaning or rubbing, into a flat-bottomed boiler, and cover it to the depth of twice its thickness with cold water. When it begins to boil, set the vessel back on the stove, or keep a low fire, and let it boil slowly and uniformly about six hours. Rapid boiling ruins it by making the lean part dry and hard, and the fat crumbling. When it is done, take it out, pull off the skin, and trim off the smoked edges ; then sprinkle the mass plentifully with crumbs of rolled cracker ; put it in a moderate oven, and bake about two hours. Garnish the edge of your platter with pars- ley and bitter-sweet berries, and you will have " a dainty dish to set before the King.1'
