Directions
Soak it over night in soft water; wrap a lock of sweet hay about it, and boil in plenty of water, three, or if very large, four hours; let the ham remain in the water to cool gradually. Nex day remove the skin, and trim all usightly parts away. The ham will retain its flavour and juice much better than if skinned hot; this of course can only be adopted when you do not require to serve the joint up hot to table; in that case sking it; grate crumbs of bread over the surface, and let it stand a few minutes in the oven to crisp the bread crumbs.
