It was one of the best hams I've ever had! Jummy
Here's the recipe for u (in metric)
• 3 liter of water
• 1,25 liter of Apple juice
• 0,75 liter of Applecider
• 250 gram nitritesalt
• 310 gram of salt
• 160 gram brown sugar
• 6 crushed juniper berries
• 12-15 peppercorns
• A pinch or two of mustard seeds
Boil it together and let it cool, inject 10% in ham. Left mine in the fridge for 10 days but that was just because I didn't have the time for it. I think it's enough whit 5-7 days. Rinse it i water and let it sink i freshwater 6 hours.
Smoked it like in Tenpoint5's Hamzillatread, I had maple on mine.
Jummy jummy
WOW, nice...
I feel a bit of the hamvirus coming on as well, after the New Year.
I'm still in awe that you tied that netting yourself. WAAAAY More talent and patience than I will ever have! Ham looks delicious!

Yep. Start thawing it on 1/2/12. I'm confident enough in my new curing fridge and 'bucket'.
Beautiful ham, bet it's delish :)
I am blown away by the netting you made, too.
Awesome!

I hesitated to read this cause I thought it was another reason
not to eat pig ham.
Glad I looked! That is just beautiful work from start to finish.
I applaud you Sir!
That is a very good looking ham. I too am blown away by the netting you made. I'm all thumbs when it comes to something like that.
That ham has a great color to it. Nice job!
You must have been a boy scout with those knotting skills? :D
Nice job on that ham too! ;D
