HOW TO COOK A COUNTRY HAM
Saw off the hock end back to the ham proper. Wash ham thoroughly and soak in cold water overnight. Pour off water and re-cover the ham with fresh cold water. Place on stove and let come to boiling point, then, boil 15 minutes to the pound (14 lb. ham boil 3 ½ hours.) Remove from stove, take out of water and let cool. Remove skin. Pat over fat side a mixture of ½ southern corn meal, and ½ brown sugar. With fat side up put in 400 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until brown on top. Dried bread crumbs may be substituted for corn meal.
