Fresh Ham Indefinitely
Dear Aunt Daisy, You were speaking the other day about a lady having trouble in getting her Christmas ham eaten up quickly enough before it went mouldy. You suggested slicing off thinly the mouldy parts, and wiping the meat over witth a vinegary cloth. That is quite good, but I have a better way. I used to have the same trouble, but now I bring the ham to the boil in fresh water once or twice before it is used up; or even pour a kettle of boiling water over it, making sure that the water reaches every part. It keeps fresh inde-
finitely, even in hot weather.

Well, I don’t know why I never thought of that myself. Such a simple way, and like all puzzlgs, so obvious once you know the answer. Thank you very much M.W.
