Boiled Ham
Ingredients
Directions
The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.
Prepare
Soak the ham or gammon in water for several hours.
Wash it thoroughly.
Enclose it in a well-greased paper bag with enough water.
Close the bag securely.
Cook
Cook on a grid shelf in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1¾ to 2¼ hours.
