ROAST LOIN OF PORK
Wipe pork with damp cloth. Put into pan in very hot oven for 20 minutes, or until well browned; add 1 teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper and 1 cup cold water. Roast slowly 3 to 4 hours. Add water as necessary. To gravy, add 1 tablespoon flour mixed with cold water, season and boil until thick.
BAKED HAM
Wash and scrub ham in warm water, soak over night. Drain and put on to boil with cold water enough to cover; boil slowly 4 to 5 hours or until tender. Cool in water in which it was boiled; remove skin carefully; cover with 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup flour and ½ teaspoon pepper; add 2 cups cold water; bake in very hot oven 45 to 60 minutes; baste often. When brown on both sides add 1 cup cider or ½ cup vinegar and thicken gravy with 2 tablespoons flour.
