Ham and Fowls Roasted

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Roast the ham and fowl until fully cooked.

  3. Prepare the greens by steaming or boiling them.

  4. Serve the roasted ham and fowl with gravy sauce and greens.
