Whole Ham
Is Valuable
Food Asset
Divide Into Shank and
Butt Halves for
Wide Variety

A whole ham is really thrifty
purchase when it is divided into the
following cuts. Ordinarily a ham is
considered too large for use by the
average family, but when separated
into the shank ard butt halves 1t
will supply the main dish for sew
eral meals. The shank half may be
used for baking and the butt half
may be cut into butterfly slices,
and a piece for seasoning or ground
ham, according to Inez S. Wilson,
home economist.
Roasted Ham Shank
To prepare: Place the shank half, I
fat side up on a rack in an open
roasting pan. Insert the meat ther-
mometer SO the bulb is in the center
of the thickest part. Roast in a
moderate oven 600 degrees F. un-
til the meat thermometer registers
done Q70 degrees FL for cured
ham. If meat thermometer is not
available allow 80 minutes per
pound for roasting. Allow about 20
minutes per pound for roasting ten
dered hams.
A delicious brown sugar glaze for
the roasted ham is easily made by
combining one-half cup brown
sugar, four tablespoons flour. two
tablespoons vinegar and two table
spoons water. Blend the flour and
sugar, then add the vinegar and
water and mix to a smooth paste
Spread over the surface of the ham
about 40 minutes before the END
of the cooking period At the same
time few cloves may be stuck in
the ham for additional flavor if
desired. Return to the oven to
finish cooking
The ham butt can be separated
into two pieces, cutting parallel to
and just back of the aitch bone.
The smaller piece will contain the
aitch bone and the larger piece will
be practically homeless.
Butterfly ham slices can be made
from the larger piece of the butt.
For cutting, place this piece of
meat SO it rests on the larger cut
surface. Cut two double slices about
"a inch thick and open them as
though opening the page of a look. |
This will leave small end piece
which may be sliced and cooked or |
used as ground smoked ham. The I
double slices may be broiled. pan
broiled or cooked with added liquid
for variety.
To broil place the ham slices on
the broiler rack and place in the
broiler so the top surface of tire
slices is about inches from the
source of heat. Broil until brown
on one side, turn and broil on the
other and from 20 to Is minutes
will be required for broiling
PanbrOiling Ham Slices
To panbroil place the ham slices
in cold frying pan over the source
of heat. Brown On one size, turn
and brown on the other Reduce
the heat and cook until done. The
drippings should be poured off from
time to time as they collect in the
frying-pan.
Here is another way for prepar-
ing the butterfly ham slices which
not only lends variety to the menu
but is easily prepared Combine
two tablespoons flour, two table
spoons sugar. two teaspoons dry I
mustard and two tablespoons water.
Place one slice in baking dish,
spread with this mixture. Cover
with the second slice. Add one and
one-half cups of milk. cover and
cook in moderate oven 900 de-
grees F) for two hours or until
tender.

solved by serving a Savory butter

The need for iron In the diet to
form good red blood has long been
known by nutrition experts With
the discovery of vitamins, liver has
won even greater respect because it
has been found to be rich source
of vitamin A and of the B vitamins,
especially vitamin BIZ, OF riboflavin.
Serve Liver Regularly
Every homemaker therefore should
make a point of serving liver regu-
larry to her family, in order to make
sure that there is 10 deficiency in
any of these essential nutrients. A
frequent serving of liver is health
insurance in a very real sense.
Use Variety in Serving
Because liver is SO important, it
is wise to have variety of ways
of serving it, and it is also thrifty
idea to serve the various kinds Of
liver. Beef liver. while not as tender
as calf liver is just as good source
of iron and vitamins all equally well
used by the body. 1t requires little
longer cooking, and is best when
praised, and it may be served in a
number of tempting ways Pork
liver is richest of all in it's iron con-
tent an dis usually an economical
choice.
Beef liver, sliced and praised,
served with lattice potatoes, French
fried, with salad Of shredded cab
bagc, and diced green peppers, is a
combination rich in health giving
qualities. 1t is economical and easy
to prepare, and is the basis for an
excellent meal.

Don't Let Vitamins Escape
} During Cooking Process
BY IDA JEAN kahn

II fruit juice is kept in an
alright container, ii can be
stored for as long as "a hours
without affecting the vitamin {
content.
Heating affects vitamin c so
drastically that with the excep-
ton of tomatoes, cooked foods
are not good sources.
Even tomatoes should not be
allowed TO simmer on the stove.
But ripe tomatoes can be stored
for as long as 10 days with little
loss in vitamin value and The
loss is always less when the
food Is kept under refrigeration.
Because most of the vitamin
c is In the fruit next to the
skin, small apples are proper
tionately higher in this vitamin
than the larger ones.
Follow These Rules
Here are general rules to help
you keep the vitamins intact
while cooking:
Whenever possible. cook vege-
tables whole and with their out
ward coverings on.
Never peel and chop up vege-
tables. then let stand before
cooking.
Serve food as soon as cooked
never let stand.
To keep greens green. cook
quickly in open kettle-do not
add soda as IL hastens the de-
struction of the vitamins.
Avoid use OF copper kettles or
utensils that have copper In
them as this metal has a de-
structive effect on vitamin c.
Start vegetables in boiling
water and in as small amounts
of water as possible.
Cook rapidly; do not fry foods
that can be cooked any other
way.

THERE ARE some very good
cooks who let more than half
the vitamins in food get away
from them in the process OF
cooking il. For examples, frying
meat destroys from 80 TO 60 per
cent of the vitamin BIZ and in
cooking vegetables from 30 to
40 per cent of the vitamin c
may be lost in the water in
which they were cooked. t,
Another vitamin that dissolves
in the cooking water is Vita
min B1.
Next to vitamin G, this vita
min Is the most easily destroyed
An cooking. AS much as 30 per
cent of the vitamin B1 content
OF foods has been found in the
water in which they were
cooked. or course, If the water
were not thrown away, the vita
min would not really be lost.
Save Cooking Water
Since so much of the vitamin
and mineral value of food de-
ponds on whether or not the
cooking water Is used. you can't
afford TO toss this water down
the drain.
To be sure, vegetables should
always be cooked in as little
water as possible. But any that
is left over should be served in
vegetable juice cocktails.
Try mixing il with one-third
tomato juice and serve IL cold.
Vitamin c is the one you get
In oranges, tomatoes and grape
fruit and their juices. It's air
that destroys vitamin c.
