Instructions: Trim ham and remove all fat and fibrous tissue. Smear with bacon grease. Dust leg with a mixture to taste of salt, pepper, rosemary, tarragon, and ginger. Put into a covered roaster, and add chopped carrots and onion on top. Baste frequently with consomme, melted butter, and Worcestershire sauce; sherry can be added. Roast at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes per pound for rare (preferably), or for up to 15 minutes per pound for well done.
