EASTER DINNER in many
homes is one of the most i'm
portant of the whole year. The
color and gayety Of the season
are expressed in the decorations
as well as the parade Of Easter
eggs.
But no more colorful are the
decorations than the foods
chosen for Easter dinner-baked
ham decorated with pineapple
and maraschino cherries, sweet
potato puffs, fresh buttered peas,
a watercress salad and straw
berry parfait for dessert.
This year we are all planning
menus with one eye on nutrl-
tional value and the other on
cost. Ham is an excellent meat
to buy. 1t has a large percent
age of edible meat TO bone
cooks easily and is almost guar
anteed tenderness and flavor.
The nutritional value is extra
high and it can be purchased in
the size piece TO fit any family.
For Small Family
II your family is very small
lust two or three-it would be
well to buy shank or butt half
weighing five 10 six pounds. The
butcher will cut off one slice for
broiling and the rest Of the piece
can be baked or simmered with
vegetables. Shank halves sell
for a cent or two per pound less
than butt halves and are equally
desirable.
The lean Of pork is extremely
high in all the important vitamin
B factors including thiamine,
riboflavin and niacin. Besides
the vitamin content, ham is i'm
portant for vital proteins and its
tasty easily digested fat which
furnishes needed energy for
these busy days.
Baked Ham
Place ham. fat side up in an
open pan on a rack. Bake in
slow oven 300 degrees) until
done. Do not cover; do not add
water. Allow about 30 minutes
per pound for half ham.
Many of the hams now on the
market require less cooking time
than others. Instructions are
usually given with these and
should be followed for best
results.
There are many ways 10 dec
crate the meat About one-half
or three-quarters of an hour
before cooking time is complete
take from the oven and remove
rind. Score fat in diagonal lines.
Spread ham with honey and re-
turn to oven TO glaze and finish
baking.
