10 pounds country ham — Georgia (10 to 12)

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup bourbon or sherry

1 cup water

Have the hock cut off ham so that it will fit into a roaster. Soak ham overnight in cold water and scrub the ham with a stiff brush. Change water a couple times to get rid of the excess salt. Mix sugar, bourbon and water; press into the fat of ham. Cover tightly with foil in roaster and bake at 200 degrees for 8 hours.
