Baked Ham:

 

Soak old hams in water overnight before boiling. Remove hock; scrub ham thoroughly with stiff brush and warm water, if molded. Place ham, skin side up, in deep oven roaster. Add water to within two inches of top of pan and add about a cup of sorghum, honey or brown sugar. Cook slowly (about 325 degrees) so that ham will simmer but not boil. Cook approximately 20 minutes per pound of ham. Remove skin and allow to cool in liquid in which it was cooked. After ham is cool, remove from liquid and cover with paste made of brown sugar moistened with vinegar. Stick with cloves. Place under broiler or in hot oven until sugar is melted. Serve hot or cold.
