Smoked Deer Ham

"This recipe comes from "Best of the Best From the Great Plains Cookbook". I'm publishing it in honor of one of Zaar's members who, sadly, has a disability making her incapable of appreciating venison. How this occurred is open to debate, as she was originally a Minnesota girl and should not be suffering so. The opinion among some is that it is a side effect of a unique, spiritual, liquid fast that she assiduously practices. It is my hope that this recipe will cure her affliction. (The long preparation and cooking times are for marinating and smoking the ham. Despite the joking description, this really is pretty good.)"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!) The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own. I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me. Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
