Directions
Make a thick paste of flour (not boiled,) and cover the ham with it, bone and all ; put in a pan one or two pieces of large wire, or any thing that will keep it an inch from the bottom. Bake in a hot oven. If a small ham, fifteen minutes for each pound ; if large, twenty minutes. The ham should be placed in the pan, the skin side down. The paste forms a hard crust around the ham, and the skin comes off with it. — 3£rs. Lucy Boone, Jefferson City, Mo.
BOIIiEO HAM.
Put the ham to soak over the night, then wash and cleanse well, and put it in to boil, with cold water enough to cover it. Bring to the boiling point and place on the back of the stove to cook slowly until tender, when pierced with a fork ; be careful to keep the water at the boiling point ; turn the ham over once or twice. A very good rule is to allow twenty minutes to the pound in boiling. When done take up and put into a baking pan, and then dip the hands in cold water and take the skin between the fingers, and peel. When cool, and ready for baking, either rub white sugar into, it well and bake until brown, or take one %^g and beat it well, then add a little salt and pepper, and cracker crumbs all over the top, and brown.
DRESSi:^0 FOR BAKED HAM.
Boil tender, then remove the skin, set in the stove to bake twentj^ minutes, then spread on a batter of one ^^^, a tablespoon of sugar, the same of buttermilk^ and a little soda, mixed. Set in the stove to brown. Stick cloves over it before putting in the oven. — M. C. Burton.
