The way I do a country ham is fairly involved but ends up in good results. First, I soak the ham for a couple of hours woth Coca Cola. Then I scrub , scrub, scrub with a wire brush until mold is easily removed. After all the mold is gone I place it in a large roasting pan and cover with milk and soak for approx 24 hours. I then drain and rinse the ham and place it in a large stock pot in the stove and combine Coca cola and a bottle of cheap bourbon and simmer for about 10 hours. THEN I take out and remove the rind and do a dry rub of brown sugar, a smidgen of ground cloves, cardamom and cinnamon. I toss this back into the large roaster and add a couple cups of the coke /bourbon/ham liquid to the bottom of the pan and roast it about an hour at 300 degrees or until it has a browned crust on it. Remove from oven, let cool 20 mins and serve thinly sliced. Reserve a cup or so of the ham/coke/bourbon liquid to include in gravy…..mmmmmmmmmm
