Wild Boar Ham

By

The traditional Sunday dinner is made special by using a wild boar ham!  Basting gives the exterior a caramelized crust.  With humble sides like mashed potatoes and peas, this ham takes center stage on a large platter. Use the leftovers for my Pennsylvania Dutch recipe for “Popeye.”
