Soak ham overnight in cider in large pan in refrigerator, skin side down. Remove ham from pan and drain cider into medium saucepan. Place ham on rack in roasting pan and bake at 350 degree for about 2 hours (20 min. per lb.). Baste occasionally with cider. Remove ham from oven and strip off skin, if necessary. Score ham.
