SO prepared as to just touch the spot The buying
and cooking Of the various cuts, however have much
to do with it's tasty and appetizng qualities and the
housewife who would have the service Of ham greeted
with welcome must study the best methods Of Offering
it in inviting ways
To bake a ham SO that It will have perfect flavor
an English recipe is unequaled. Soak the ham for
boiling and after wping it quite dry, entirely
with thick paste made of flour and water. Then
wrap 1t in creased paper tying it in several places
to prevent the paper from slipping off, Place the ham
in baking tin and cook in well heated oven basting
it frequently the fire with hot drippngs. If the
paper shows evidences of becoming burnt, place
other sheet over it. ham of five pounds will require
four hours in the AS it is done remove
the paper and the paste and while still hot rip off the
rind When the ham is COOL brush it with several
coats Of glaze and put it away to get thoroy cold.
This is only when the ham is to be kept for cold meat
It is very delicious also hot and If any Of the
leg remains after the meal the glazing be done
later.
Broiled Ham for Sunday Breakfast Tea-Have
the butcher cut two three slices of ham, each being
