Baked Fresh Ham With Sherry Baste - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 fresh ham
2 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
3 c. water
2 c. sherry

Preparation

Remove rind from ham.
Season with salt and pepper.
Place in a roaster pan, bone side down, and with a sharp knife, score the top in a diamond design.
This will help to sherry the meat.
Add the water and tent with heavy foil.

Every 30 minutes, baste the ham with sherry.
Save the brownings in the pan for gravy.
