Georgia country ham

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
10 pounds Country ham; Georgia (10 to 12)
1 cup Brown sugar
1 cup Bourbon or sherry
1 cup Water

Directions

Have the hock cut off ham so that it will fit into a roaster. Soak ham overnight in cold water and scrub the ham with a stiff brush. Change water a couple times to get rid of the excess salt. Mix sugar, bourbon and water; press into the fat of ham. Cover tightly with foil in roaster and bake at 200 degrees for 8 hours.
