BAKED HAM
Select a lean ham, weighing from twelve to fourteen pounds, cover with
cold water or equal parts of water and sweet cider and let soak (skin
side up) over night. Drain, scrape and trim off all objectionable parts
about the knuckle. Cover flesh side with a dough made of flour and
water. Place in a dripping pan, skin side down. Bake in a hot oven until
dough is a dark brown; reduce heat and bake very slowly five hours. Ham
enclosed in dough needs no basting. Remove dough, turn ham over and peel
off the skin. Sprinkle ham with sugar, cover with grated bread crumbs
and bake twenty to thirty minutes. Remove from oven and decorate with
cloves; place a paper frill on knuckle, garnish with sprays of parsley
and lemon cut in fancy shapes. Serve hot or cold.
HOT HORSERADISH SAUCE
1/4 cup freshly grated horseradish.
1/4 cup fine cracker crumbs.
