HAM, BOILED (another way)

Prepare the ham as above. Put it into a saucepan, and with it a quart of beer, a pint of vinegar, and as much water as will just cover it. Carrots and sweet herbs must not be omitted. Calculate the time which must be required to cook it according to the rule given in the last recipe, and let the ham be simmered two-thirds of the time, and baked in a moderate oven for the rest. It must be skinned and covered with bread-crumbs before it is put into the oven. Time, from three to five hours, according to size. Probable cost, 1s. per pound.
