Make a su'up by boiling one cup of corn sirup, 34 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons or more of butterCandied Sweet Potatoes, and cup brown sugar. The sirup should be fairly thick.

Squeeze as many oranges as you need to make 2}/i cups of strained juice and add the juice of half a lemon to intensify the flavor. Put 1 cup of water on to heat with ^ cup of sugar or less, depending on the acidity of the fruit. When the sirup is boiling, take it from the stove and put the moist- ened gelatin into it.

Add thinly sliced raw potatoes which have been sprinkled lightly with flour. Pour over them enough milk to cover. Bake slowly for about an hour and a half, or until the potatoes and ham are thoroughly cooked. Cover the baking dish for the first hour of the cooking. The salt and fat of the ham are sufficient to season the potatoes. If necessary, add a little hot milk from time to time during cooking. There should be enough liquid to form a tasty gravy around the ham and potatoes. Serve the ham and potatoes from the baking dish. If the ham is very salty, soak it, preferably in buttermilk or sour milk, before cooking it with the potatoes. The acid of sour milk seems to soften the ham and make it very tender when cooked.
