Picnic Ham Roast.

Picnic Ham Roast.

My mom would do one of these picnic hams at least a few times a month. She had this old cast iron dutch oven that she would place on a stove top burner on low. The ham pork roast would be washed and set on top of some of her home made stewed tomatoes. She would then use the juices and mix that with a half cup of brown sugar and a quarter cup of yellow mustard. That would be massaged into the ham and poured over top before the lid was closed. All I know is that around supper time the aroma of the ham filled the kitchen and some quick boiled potatoes fried with a side of some cole slaw. Still a good meal. I got a great picnic ham at the Little Pork Shoppe in Shakespeare and did it in my pressure cooker. The results were most excellent.
