Ham wash, if necessary, singe (we have already sold this). Put in a deep pot, cover with cold water and leave for 12 h. after the time to change the water and leave for another 12 h. Clean the carrots, onions and turnips (rutabaga). I have not found a turnip or rutabaga and used a parsnip root. Chop all vegetables into large chunks. In a large pan, fold the vegetables, place the pork on top, add Bay leaves. Pour fresh cold water, put over high heat and bring to boil. After boiling (almost no foam) remove the Bay leaves. Reduce the heat (just a little below languished). The lid does not close tightly and boil for 4 h. after 2 h, add salt and pepper to taste

After a time gently with a slotted spoon to shift into a wide plate (to on all sides had access). Allow to cool slightly. To make the skin with diagonal cuts in the form of mesh (I have a knife for slicing tomatoes with small teeth or a very sharp knife). In each formed cell (but do not overdo it), add 1 Bud of cloves. To shift the ham in a baking dish with low sides. Mix apricot jam with brandy, abundantly watered with the mixture, top and sides of the meat piece. Bake 1 hour in a preheated 180*C oven until Golden color

Serve hot with pickled vegetables. Sprinkle with chopped dill. What kind of yummy, I tell you. Meat is tender and juicy. You can eat the lips and skin – slightly sweet. Mmm... Help Yourself. Bon appetit!
