Brown Sugar Crusted Ham

Ingredients

• 1 ham
• water
• cracker crumbs
• brown sugar
• whole cloves
• pepper
• egg (optional)

Method

1. 1 Soak the ham overnight or for several hours, then wash and scrape it thoroughly.
2. 2 Place the ham in cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes per pound.
3. 3 Test for doneness by inserting a skewer; it should withdraw easily if done.
4. 4 Let the ham cool slightly in the water, then remove and peel off the skin.
5. 5 Sprinkle the top with cracker crumbs and brown sugar, or brush with egg, then press in whole cloves.
6. 6 Brown in the oven for a few minutes, or leave white and dot with pepper and cloves.
