Granny's Virginia Style Ham

 

1 ham about 8 to 10 pounds
1 cup Karo Syrup, Blue Label
1 tablespoon pickle spice
Cloves
Dry bread crumbs
More Karo

Scrub the ham with cold water containing a little baking soda, rinse in cold water and place in a kettle with the Karo and pickle spice. Cover with boiling water and simmer until tender - about four hours. Let stand in the water two hours. Part off the skin, brush with Karo, sprinkle thickly with the crumbs and dot with the cloves at even intervals. Bake one and one half hours in at 300F-350F , basting frequently

 

Nothing puzzles me more than the time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less.
