Loosen the skin from the ham and simmer with the onions and the leek for 1 hour in a roasting pan with all but 1/2 cup of the wine.
Remove ham from roaster.
Cut away and discard tough outer skin.
Brown mushrooms in butter.
Cut a slash in the top of the ham sufficiently large to hold the mushroom mixture, water, salt and pepper.
Skewer the opening to keep the filling in place.
Make a sauce of the 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoon of flour and the liquid from the roaster.
Stir over a low heat.
Add the reserved 1/2 cup wine a little at a time and mix well.
