Title: Country hams
Post by: Brewoz on June 04, 2013, 11:05:49 AM
Did a pair of country hams. What a waiting game.

Measured out salt, sugar and cure # 2.

Applied 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 for a total of 27 days

Shared space with my home brew

Sitting on a cutting board to keep out of juices.

After 27 days looks good and smells fine.

Back to more pics.

Soak hams for 1 hr to remove excess salt.

(http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/ozlundk/Ham/IMG_20130511_094352_234-1.jpg)

Let hang at 60* F for 14 days to equalize.

Into the smoker. Cold smoked for 4 days, 6 hours a day. Wood was hickory and pecan.

I missed this post :) Them hams are looking good, a lot better than the cell phone picture you showed me (full size) :) Brewoz popped by tonight and dropped off a pork belly so I can make some more bacon. Thanks again!!
