Wet Curing Hams

[MrsKK]

This looks fantastic, Al.  Thanks so much for sharing your method and the tips and photos, too.

I wanted to do my own bacon and hams this year, but have had some health issues that have prevented me from doing so.  Now I've got even more to look forward to next fall.

Glad you enjoyed it!!  Hope yours comes out great!!

Okay the week is up and these two spent the night in the fridge drying out.  Time for them to get some smoke!!  Now there are two things I absolutely love on a frosty morning.  One is walking through a corn field back home in Maryland with a shotgun hunting pheasant.  The other is smelling hickory smoke covering hams or bacon. ;D

Okay, out of the smoker and onto a tray to cool.  All these babies need is a big pot of green beans and potatoes!  Gotta love a picnic shoulder full of hickory!!  That skin will flavor up some bean soup!! ^-^

They look great! Ten times better than anything you see in the shops.

Don't forget the home cured bacon for breakfast!! LOL

Al, the bacon looks terrific.
Is it sliced from the shoulders? Or from another part?

I love smoking a pork butt, but haven't tried curing.

Thanks,
Don
