Baked Ham

Put about a ten-pound ham into a bowl with a good supply of water and let it soak for twelve or fourteen hours. Remove it, trim off all the uneatable parts from the underneath side and spread it over thickly with a paste of water and flour. Place it in a baking dish and set the dish in a well-heated oven and bake for about four hours. When done remove, take off the flour and water crust, skin, brush over with glaze or grate a little crust of bread over it, place a paper frill on the knuckles, and serve with a garnish of vegetables cooked and cut up into various shapes. By cooking a ham in this way it is stewed in its own juice and is very full of flavor.
