Mutton Hams To Make Recipe

Cut a hind quarter of mutton like a ham. Take one ounce of saltpetre,

one pound of coarse sugar, and one pound of common salt; mix them

together, and rub the ham well with them. Lay it in a hollow tray with

the skin downward; baste it every day for a fortnight; then roll it in

sawdust, and hang it in wood smoke for a fortnight. Boil and hang it in

a dry place; cut it out in rashers. It does not eat well boiled, but is

delicious broiled.
