Helen's Ham

• 1 ham, bone-in, smoked, skinless, approximately 7 lbs
• 12 ounces beer
• 6 -8 ounces water

1. Remove wrapper from ham and quickly (about 30 seconds) run under cold water.
2. Place in a large pot that has a lid.
3. Pour in beer and water.
4. Cover, and bring to boil over medium-high heat.
5. Reduce heat to low-medium.
6. You just want it to simmer.
7. Simmer for approximately 2 - 2 1/2 hours, basting with the liquid occasionally.
8. You'll know when it's ready, as the ham "shrinks back" slightly.
9. Remove from pot (that's the hard part!)
10. and let sit 5-10 minutes before slicing.
11. This is a very forgiving recipe.
12. You can leave it cook longer, just lower the heat slightly.
