Traditional Baked Country Ham

• 1 Finchville Farms Country Ham (prepared as instructed below)
• 1⁄2 cup vinegar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• cloves

Place ham in large roaster, skin side up.  Cover 2/3 of the ham with water.  Add the vinegar to the water.  Place cover on roaster.  Place the ham & roaster on the stove and bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer.  Allow the ham to simmer for about 15 minutes per pound or until your meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.

Remove ham from water and allow to cool.  When cool, carefully remove the skin and excess fat.  If desired, remove the bones at this time.

Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan.  Score the fat in a diamond pattern and stud with cloves.  Pat brown sugar on the ham. Place the ham in a 350 oven for 30 minutes.

Country ham should be served at room temperature and sliced very thin.
