Ham and Swiss

[OU812]

They had pork sirloin roasts on sale the other day so I figured its time to make some lunch meat.

Boned the roasts then cubed the meat and dumped in my curin bucket



Mixed up a simple cure of Morton Sugar cure and brown sugar



Mixed in the cure



The bones



In the bucket too.



After 12 hr in the fridge rinse the meat, pat dry and spread out on pan lined with plastic wrap then in the freezer till firm



When firm, grind



Spread out in the tote and back in the freezer for a bit and grind again.



Spread, freeze, grind again.



Some honey, water and soy protine concentrate for a binder.



Mixed that in



Then added some cheese



Mix again



Stuffed and hung at room temp till the smoker warmed up, forgot to get a shot of stuffin them.

In the smoker with no smoke for an hr with the smoker set at 110 F then rolled 3 hr Hickory and bumped the temp up 10 deg every hr till the temp reached 170 F and kept it there till the IT was 150 F. Then an ice water bath till the IT was 100 F. Hung to drip dry and bloom.



In the fridge overnight.



Remember dem bones?



The next day ready to slice



Oooooooooo Baby!



The little guy



All sliced



Packaged in 1 lb packs



Gooood stuff!

The bones are goin to make a killer pork base for some green chili stew.

You cured the bones?   Interesting...

Hmmm! Well  OU812 you have hit on something their friend! Ham and cheese are two flavors everybody loves. Why didn't I think of that? I definitely will try this one. I do eat a lot more sandwiches then I should. But if I prepared my own would definitively be better for me. If you wouldn't mind sharing I would love your recipe. Either way I will try it. Thank you for posting. And the photos were great also.

The 2 pounder was around 8 hr but the 10 pounder took closer to 14 hr.

Thought about breakin out the roaster and poaching the big one but it was movie night so I was up anyway.  ::)
