5

For cold meats, salads, poultry, steaks, fish, chops and cut- lets, use parsley and celery tops, or lettuce can be used with a very pleasing effect.

13

To Boil a Ham. — Put on ham boiler half full water, put the ham in, skin side up. Time the ham when the water begins to boil; keep the pot boiling constantly for four hours if it is a ten or twelve pound ham. If water boils out, add more boiling water from tea kettle. Skin the ham while hot, cover it over with brown sugar and bake till a light brown — about half hour. Never cut ham until it is cold. — Mrs. H. R. Lancaster.

14

Boiled Ham. — While ham is boiling add one cup molasses and one tablespoon black pepper. When it is done, remove the skin, and spread on a paste made of one egg, two table- spoons sugar, half teaspoon mustard, salt and pepper; stick a few cloves about in it, put in oven and bake brown, about half hour. — Mrs. I. B. Tigrett.

15

Ham Balls. — Chop cold ham very fine, add an egg for each person and a little flour; beat well together and make in balls and fry in butter. — Mrs. Eebecca Tucker.

16

Fried Ham. — Take slices of ham, throw them in boiling water for a few minutes, wipe them off ; put in a hot frying pan, and let brown nicely ; lay the slices on a dish ; pour into the gravy half teacup new milk and some pepper ; boil up and serve.

17

Ham Toast. — Take a quarter of a pound of lean ham chopped fine, the yolks of three eggs well beaten, quarter of a pound of butter, two tablespoonfuls of cream, and a little red pepper; stir this over the fire until it thickens, and then spread on hot toast. — Gulf City Cook Book.

19

Ham Toast. — Grind ham, add one or two well beaten eggs, a little mustard and butter, two tablespoons cream; mix and heat it ; serve thick on buttered toast which has been lightly dipped in hot water. — Mrs. H. K. Lancaster.

20

Roast Pork. — Score the skin in strips quarter inch apart, salt and pepper, place in roastingpan. with sufficient water to keep from burning: a four pound roast should cook in one and one-half hours. Make a gravy of drippings (skimming off the heavy grease) by adding a little flour and water. Sweet pota- toes are nice baked with pork roast.

21

To Boii Fresh Pork Ham. — Take sufficient boiling water to cover the ham. Put in this two quarts of salt, one-half cup of dark molasses or brown sugar, a handful of whole black pepper, saltpeter the size of a large pea. Put the ham in this boiling mixture, and boil until thoroughly done, which will probably be when the meat leaves the knuckle-bone. Let this cool in the water in which it is boiled, as all corned meats should. — Gulf City Cook Book.

22

Barbecue. — Buy a four pound pig roast. Boil until tender, adding three pods of pepper and one teaspoonful of salt. Have on stove one-half cup boiling vinegar, to which has been added pepper, salt and one tablespoonful of butter. Place meat in pan. bake until brown, basting constantly with gravy. — Mrs. B. 0. Snider.

23

Barbecued Pork. — Have a nice ham of fresh pork, parboil it well, season with red pepper and salt. Put in the roasting pan, score the skin in checks. Have a cup of vinegar and a cup of the water in which it was boiled to baste it with frequently. Allow it to brown nicely.

24

Pork Tenderloins. — Tenderloins should be fried: salt, pepper and roll in flour; fry in hot lard and serve with a nice brown gravy of what remains in the skillet, either with fresh milk or water, and serve with them.
