First Ham ( Maybe )

I think you did a great job deboning and netting that up. I made some bacon not long ago from shoulder and a couple pieces had to be pushed together. When done it cooked together fine and sliced nicely. You should be fine.

Thanks Viper. Let's hope it slices well. I think next time I'll try bone in and debone when it's done.

Looking good.

When I did a ham it seem to take forever...

After 30 hours I think we have a winner. ;D ;D ;D

How long should I keep it wrapped in the fridge to allow the salt and flavors distribute properly?

Thanks

Looks like the patients payed of Sam. Nice looking ham for sure.

12-24 hours. Although it is a requirement to sneak a piece of the meat and fat off the back before you take a picture. The fat has this salty smokey flavor that just makes this whole process worth every minute of the week plus process. BTW It will never taste the same again.

Awesome job!
I haven't done a ham yet but I'll have to soon.

That's a great looking ham. How long are going to wait before slicing into it?

SamuelG · August 21, 2011, 02:44:12 PM

I wish I could tonight, but I'll be at a wake tonight and will probably will not get to it.

I'll try...
