Doug, believe me you don't want to do one anyother way.[p]
Soak ham for 48 hours changing water 6-8 times. Put ham in a pot, completely cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Discard water and repeat this step 2 more times (for a total of 3). Fill pot again with cold water completely covering ham and bring water to barely a simmer (DO NOT BOIL). You want to poach the ham at a water temperature of about 180 degrees. Do this for 4 hours. Taste ham. If its too salty continue simmering for another hour or two tasting along the way. Remember the ham is supposed to be salty but if you don't prepare it properly it will be too/horribly salty to eat. When your done let ham cool in the poaching liquid. Remove, cover loosely with foil and refridgerate if your going to bake the following day. Preheat oven to 350. Remove skin leaving 1/4 inch of fat. At this point you can follow the Madeira recipe or do the following: Bake for 1 hour. Coat with brown sugar and bake for 30 minutes and your in business.
