Economical Dishes With Ham.
No matter what the vegetarians may
say, and no matter how earnestly we
may be assured that meat is unneces-
eery and that it is one of the most ex-
pensive forms of food, we all keep on
eating it and, incidentally, growling
about the price, so maybe we may find
some consolation and some profit in
the consideration of the capabilities of
a ham,
We can almost hear you exclaim:
"But ham is dear"; it is, but it is econ-
omical, because there is not a single
bit of waste about ib. Every particle
of the meat can be used and hambone
makes the most delicious flavoring for
soup. It is true that a whole ham is
a big proposition for a small family to
handle, but it is possible to buy a half,
or if yo., have bought the whole, there
is no need to eat it all in a week, for
it keeps well and can be served in so
many ways that there is no danger of
it becoming monotonous.
It is a good plan to leave a ham
steeping in cold water for a few hours
before boiling, so as to make it more
delicate in flavor by removing some of
the brine. Then put it down in cold
water and bring slowly to the boil,
keeping it, simmering gently until
cooked; but be sure not to let it cook
too quickly, or it will be tough and
hard. If the cabbage is to be cooked
with the ham, the meat should be put
on thirty minutes earlier than other-
wise and taken up before the vegetable
is added to the water, because the wat-
er must be boiling rapidly for the
vegetable, and that would spoil the
ham. Beep it boiling until the cab-
bage is cooked, then draw to one side
and put in the meat again to get quite
hot. When ham is properly done the
slcir. esn be palled air easily, and it
should then be dredged with flour and
browned in the oven. While it is be-
ing browned, the cabbage should be
drained, chapped finely and arranged
round a very hot dish, the ham being
placed in the center. If you want
to serve the boiled harm cold, it ought
M be allowed to get cold in the water
in which it was cooked.
A two and one-half inch thick slice,
which is to be broiled or baked, should
be treated as follows, and served with
caramel sauce:
Trim and wipe the slice of ham with
a damp cloth and put in a pan with en-
ough cold water to barely cover it.
Boil very gently for forty minutes,
then take out and stick five or six
cloves into the fat. hit into a bak-
ing tin and dust very lightly with pep-
per, and cover with two tablespoonful
of flour mixed with one-half a cup of
brown sugar. Bake in a very hot oven
for thirty minutes, adding a cup
of cold water as soon as it begins to
Brown and basting once or twice. When
quite tender, take out, put in a border
of mashed potatoes and keep hot while
making the caramel sauce.
