Title: Easter Ham !
Post by: wyoduke on April 23, 2011, 09:35:14 AM
Well i got a bag of ham bags in the mail and a pig in the freezer happy days when they came together ;D
It had a 7 day cure 10.5 's recipe and thanks for the bags Chris

After 12 hours of drying i did 4 hours maple and 4 hours apple
And the whole time all it did is snow

Thats one good lookin spread.

Save the bone and trimmings, it will make for some killer ham N bean soup.

Boy howdy, that is a smokin' looking ham.Man o man. And you could make what my bro and I made for our easter dinner. Ham stuffed potato dumplings. Oh My God they are good and easy to make. A little time consuming but well worth it.

do you need special nets/bags to hang the ham or could one just use cheese cloth?

Jimmy you can use cheese cloth or even a new clean white T-Shirt. If you need a ham net send me a PM and I can get one out to you.
