Ingredients: This works beautifully on other hams as well. Follow same directions except you do not soak regular hams.
Soak ham for 48 hours in water. Change water often and scrub thoroughly after each change. Add 1c. cider vinegar and 1c. brown sugar to water the second day. Line large roaster with heavy-duty foil. Place ham fat side down, and put thick slices of oranges over top. Pour 1c. Kentucky Bourbon over top of ham. Seal the foil tightly around ham. Pour water in pan halfway up on outside of foil. Place top on roaster. Bake at 350 degrees 18 minutes per pound. When it is done, take out of foil and turn over. Take skin off. Cut fat 1/2 inch deep in diamond pattern. Pat mixture of equal parts stale bread crumbs and brown sugar over the fat. Dot with whole cloves in the diamond cuts . Put in 300 degree oven to brown crumbs. Do not cut until it is thoroughly cooled. Slice very thin.

Notes: I've never cooked a country ham, but it is in the old book that I have with the Derby Pie recipe that we've made for years. Thought it might be good to have, just in case we have the inkling to do it some day.
