A year's cookery

Hams are best to be cured before the weather is frosty; and anyhow the business should not be undertaken later than February. Two or three hams can very well be cured in the same pan if every day the position is changed, the top one being put to the bottom. For a small family it would be found that hams weighing from ten to twelve pounds would prove most profitable. To boil hams, see Note 4, May 27th. Sunday, November 1st. Breakfast. Dinner. Tea.
