Ingredients for Ham:
- 1/2 a Leg of Pork (About 7 or 8 lbs fresh Ham.)
- 1/8 a cup of dried Sage
- 4 cloves of Garlic
- 2 Tbsp of dried Thyme
- 2 Tbsp of coarse Salt
- 1 Tbsp of dried Oregano
- 1 Tbsp of freshly ground black Pepper
| Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 8 hours | Serves: 8 |
Instructions:
If the skin is still on the roast, use a very sharp knife to cut a series of 1-inch gashes all over the skin. Try to cut down to the meat without piercing it, make about 30-40 gashes. Stuff the Sage and Thyme Pork Rub into these gashes, then rub the remainder on the bottom of the roast any other exposed meat. Set the meat in a large crockpot, about 8 hours. Then serve an enjoy!
Notes: Save the drippings for extra added flavor for homemade gravy or bake beans.
