Marinated Ham (Spanish-Style) Recipe

Ingredients

15 lb fresh, uncured ham
1 salt
4 cl garlic, 3 cut in slivers, 1 mince
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup fresh lime juice


Directions

Prepare ham the night before by trimming away some of the excess fat,
but leave as much skin as possible. Salt the meat to taste; cut small
slashes into the ham and wedge in the slivers of garlic. Mix a
marinade of minced garlic, lemon and lime juice. Pour over meat,
cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate overnight.

When ready to cook, heat the oven to 300F. Roast the meat about three
hours, basting evry half hour. Bring the center of the ham to 165F
degrees (use a meat thermometer to check temperature). Just before
removing the ham from the oven, raise the heat to crisp the skin.

The History of Recipes

It is possible to track the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.

In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and parsley.

Later, we have a couple of recipe books dating from the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of that period.

Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an increase in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private collections.

The arrival of television brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading.
