]\Iake a brine that will float an egg, add 1 tablespoon each of ground cloves and allspice, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and \ pound black pepper. Put in 2 beef hams, properly dressed by the butcher, and with the bones taken out. Let stay in the brine ■? weeks, changing their positions in the cask occasionally. Let drain several hours; then sprinkle lightly with brown sugar and cayenne pepper, if more is needed. Roll in a tight roll and wind with coarse string, hanging up to let dry. It may be cut from in a few days. Slice and cook as 3'ou would beefsteak. A slice of sidcmeat cured in the same way is good to broil with the steak, as the beef seems dry to unaccustomed palates.
