Directions
Prepare ham the night before by trimming away some of the excess fat, but leave as much skin as possible.
Salt the meat to taste; cut small slashes into the ham and wedge in the slivers of garlic.
Mix a marinade of minced garlic, lemon and lime juice.
Pour over meat, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to cook, heat the oven to 300℉ (150℃)
Roast the meat about three hours, basting evry half hour.
Bring the center of the ham to 165F degrees (use a meat thermometer to check temperature).
Just before removing the ham from the oven, raise the heat to crisp the skin.
