Thick slice from the center of a ham. Three cloves, 1 tablespoon sugar.
Cover with cold water and cook one hour. Pour off all broth except one cup full; roast the ham in the oven; pour over it a sauce made from the gravy in the pan and milk thickened with flour and one can of mushrooms with enough of the original broth to salt it sufficiently.
Mrs. W. A. Wittick.
Roast fresh ham in the usual way. Bake apples that have been cored and seasoned with sugar, butter and cinnamon. When done drop a big spoonful of meringue on each apple and put in a hot oven for a few minutes to brown. Arrange these as a garnish on the platter around the nicely browned roast. Browned sweet potatoes may also be arranged just inside the apples. Very simple, but so attractive. - Mrs. B. F. Houston.
Wash and dry. Then make a thick paste of flour and water and spread all over the cut part of ham. Place in roasting pan with boiling water in hot oven. Let cook one hour, then decrease heat and cook until tender. If the bone is first removed it is easier to cut in nice slices. Some like cloves stuck in ham. - Mrs. W. N. McLaughlin.

Peel and slice six or seven Irish potatoes, and lay them on top of ham, salt and pepper, then cover with milk, cover tightly with lid and bake in slow oven one hour or more.
