GEORGIA COUNTRY HAM

Georgia Country Ham

1 (10 to 12 pound) Georgia country ham
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 F for 8 hours.
