Miss Elva's Country Ham
Mom
Not to be confused with Uncle Hatcher’s country ham.
1 raw ham, about 10 lbs Rub the ham well with the mixture, especially the exposed meat. Coat the ham with the mixture, wrap well in brown wrapping paper, slip into a sack, tie sack securely (to keep out the flies), and hang as the pig walked. Let hang one year. Then --------- Trim ham, soak in fresh water 24 hrs, changing the water once.. Scrub clean. Cover with water and simmer 20 mins to the pound. Let cool in the water for 24 hrs. Cut off skin, glace if you wish, and put under the broiler till browned. Cool again. |
