I think a large part of it was i expected a stronger taste than i got and i tasted it before it was smoked and had time to rest. I did not expect or want coun...

I used 7.5 quarts of water. It was just enough to cover them and inject them. They were in the cure 14 days also. On the test fry it was too salty, but i just put it in the water like the directions said and brought it up to 150 IT. I will try some tonight when i get home from work today! Thanks Nick

Boiled ham update

I did a test fry before hand and it was a tiny bit to salty which i thought was a good sign. I did not soak it I just pu...

I did inject them as the directions said to. So each ham recieved 2.6 and 2.7 lbs of cure injected along the bones and through out. I am pulling them today and will start the rest of the process today. On a side note the 40lbs of bacon i did turned out fantastic, the jowls were outstanding as well. ...

Thank you for the information I will let them stay in the brine alittle longer. They are fully covered and kept around 36 deg. I have Bacon/Jowls and Hocks to do anyway so alittle longer wont hurt a thing.

nope unfortunately he cannot. I just thought since you dry cure them for 9 months making proscuito it might be possible to do in brine as well.

I live in TN and I do not trust dry curing them here. I dont have a place that says 50-70 year around.

Ham curing question

If you can dry cure a ham at high temp why cant you brine cure one as long as you keep it sealed?

The reason i am asking is because I have 4 large hams to cure and not enough room to cure them in the fridhge for 30 days.

thanks

Nick
