Name: Mom's Peppered Ham
Ingredients: Ham shank; Peppercorns, whole; Water

God seeks and values the gifts we bring Him – gifts of praise, thanksgiving, service, and material offerings. In all such giving at the altar we enter into the highest experiences of fellowship. But the gift is acceptable to God in the measure to which the one who offers it is in fellowship with Him in character and conduct; and the test of this is in our relationships with our fellow men. We are thus charged to postpone giving to God until right relationships are established with others. Could the neglect of this be the explanation of the barrenness of our worship? (Matt. 5:24)

INGREDIENTS

		Ham shank
		Peppercorns, whole
		Water

INSTRUCTIONS

Place raw ham shank in big pot of water.  Heat to boiling, reduce and
simmer until done, about one hour (consult cooking chart per weight). Cool.
De-skin, remove fat and bone. In the process, you will cut off some of the
lesser-quality meat; will have 2-4 chunks of meat.
(Save scraps and strain fat off top of water; the meat and pot liquor is
great for cooking black beans.)
Put whole peppercorns and water in blender; grind until pureed, till you
have about 1/4 cup.  Coat all sides of the ham chunks (not ends). Put in
300 - 325 degree oven to dry. Chill and slice as thinly as possible.
