Ham Baked in Wine - Skinke I Vin

===Description===
Serves 10
===Ingredients===
*10 pounds Ham -- smoked 
*2 small onions -- chopped 
*1 leek -- finely chopped 
*1 5/8 quarts red wine 
*½ pound Mushrooms -- sliced 
*2 tablespoons butter 
*½ cup water 
*salt 
*pepper 
*2 tablespoons butter 
*2 tablespoons flour
===Directions===
Loosen the skin from the Ham and simmer with the onions and the leek for 1 hour in a roasting pan with all but ½ cup of the wine. 
Remove Ham from roaster. Cut away and discard tough outer skin. 
Brown Mushrooms in butter. Cut a slash in the top of the Ham sufficiently large to hold the Mushroom mixture, water, salt and pepper. Skewer the opening to keep the filling in place. 
Make a sauce of the 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoon of flour and the liquid from the roaster. Stir over a low heat. Add the reserved ½ cup wine a little at a time and mix well. Pout over the Ham in the roasting pan and bake until tender (about 25 minutes to the pound) in a preheated 375º oven. Baste at least every ½ hour with juices from the pan. 
NOTES : There are hams and hams. This recipe is intended not for the canned or cellophane-wrapped hams available at your supermarket but for the so-called "country" or Smithfield Ham which requires precooking preparation. A gourmet feast will repay you for the loving care these hams call for.
