Quite honestly I'm just as excited as you.  Pulled my last pound of ham from the freezer two days ago and it's already almost gone.  I'm trying to wait patiently to see how your de-boned picnic holds up to slicing so I can figure out what to buy.

Very Happy with the results. It was a little salty, even saltier than a dry cured ham.  The taste was amazing.  It was my first one so maybe all I have to compare to is store bought, not the masterpieces that we see on this site.  Thanks 10.5 for the recipe.



















I will definitively make another one very soon!

That looks great.

Mine was a little on the salty side too. I have been looking for a fresh ham to cure...

Looks good, how well do you feel it held together for you with the deboning?

Thanks.

It really turned out very nice.  It sliced very well and those scraps were done on purpose to make beans.  Next time just a tad less salt with a little more sugar.  It has been a hit around here.

Very nice Ham! Didn't think deboning would hurt. Worked good for me. Nicer slicing without the bone also. Well a little salty the first time is a common complaint. I usually add some extra brown sugar to cut taste of the salt. Sometimes you can cut back a little too. That's the whole idea of doing your own is getting it where you want it. As long as its cured proper any thing goes. Sure do wish I had that much ham left. Pork Rules!!!!
