Baked Ham with Spiced Oranges, Kuechler'

List of Ingredients




Baked Ham with Spiced Oranges, Kuechler's Roost
(As served at Kuechler's famous mountain restaurant near Reading, beloved of gourmets from far and wide while it existed.)


1 good smoked ham
4 oranges in shell
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup wide cloves


Wash the ham in two waters, then bake in slow oven in two cups of water, until tender, allowing 21 minutes per pound. Then carve off the rind, and dot the ham with cloves. Then make a paste of the brown sugar and the flour and rub the ham with it. Bake for 20 minutes in medium oven. Serve with the following, (surrounding the ham on the platter): Take four unpeeled Florida oranges and stick them with cloves; about seven to an orange. Tien boil the oranges until the skin is very tender, in a syrup of two cups of sugar and two cups of water. Then cut oranges in half, make a circle around the platter with them; pour some syrup over them. Serve all piping hot with stewed chestnuts
