TO BOIL A HAM.
Select the sweetest and best, wipe with a coarse cloth, then soak for an hour in cold water, to extract some of the salt. Cover with cold water, place over the fire and let it come to a moderate boil, keeping it steadily at this point. In cooking allow twenty minutes for each pound °of meat. If the ham is to bo served hot remove the skin, place on a platter, the fat side up, and stick ir. some whole cloves. If served cold, allow it to remain in the kettle until the water in which it was cooked becomes cold. This makes it moro juicy.
