Directions
-
Choose a plump, thick ham with a thin layer of fat.
-
Parboil 20 minutes.
-
Steam and remove all skin.
-
Cut greens in small pieces (1" to 1 1/2").
-
Chop celery and pepper fine.
-
Blanch greens, celery and pepper in boiling water until limp; drain well.
-
Add seasonings and mix.
-
Cool ham until you can handle it comfortably.
-
Starting at the butt end of the ham, cut three lengthwise slits, 2" long, all the way through.
-
Second row--two slits.
-
Third row--three slits, so that one slit for stuffing does not split into another.
-
The ham is now ready to be stuffed.
-
With your fingers, push the seasoned greens into slits first from the top, then from underneath, until you can feel all the spaces have been filled.
-
The remaining greens are banked over the top of the ham.
-
To keep the ham in shape, use a large square of clean cloth.
-
Place ham, skin side up, on the cloth, fold the ends over tightly and pin.
-
Return to ham boiler and simmer 15 minutes to the pound.
-
Let cool for two hours in the pot liquor.
-
Chill in refrigerator overnight, in its cloth.
