To Bake a Boiled Ham

Ingredients

black pepper

Directions

First, boil till done ; then skin and trim it ; spread the yolk of egg over, then sprinkle with finely rolled cracker, and put in the oven for a few minutes ; or, you may boil, skin it, and ornament with black pepper : a ham will keep much better, and will re- tain the juice, if the skin is not taken off".
