Glazed Ham.
Put into cold water about ten o’clock on Wednesday night, and let it soak until the fire is made next morning. Put on then in plenty of cold water, and cook eighteen or twenty minutes per pound. Set out of doors when done, in a large, shallow pan, and cover with the pot-liquor. You should have made, meanwhile, the “glaze,” by boiling down a cup of yesterday’s soup, with an equal quantity of strained pot-liquor, until the result was a thick brown broth. Add a tablespoonful of soaked gelatine, and set the mixture in boiling water. When the ham is nearly, or quite cold, skim carefully; wash all over with the glaze, and set in the oven to harden. If not quite thick enough, apply a second coat when the first is dry. Twist frilled paper about the shank.
