To Cure Hams
Description
This International side-dish features Ham, Salt peter, Salt, kosher, Brown sugar. It delivers sweet, indulgent flavor, a pleasant kick of heat. A reliable recipe that works well for everyday cooking. Simple to make with ingredients you likely already have on hand, this is a recipe you will come back to again and again.Ingredients
Directions
-
The "recipe" specifies ham from corn-fed hogs, and "fine salt (best quality)".
-
Since kosher salt is commonly available today, and contains no iodine, I changed the ingredients to specify it.
-
Mix thoroughly the salt peter, 1 pint salt and brown sugar and rub over the hams and
-
let stand for 24 hours.
-
Then rub the meat with the pepper and part of the remaining salt.
-
Let stand for 5 days and then rub meat again with fine salt.
-
Set aside for 30 days, hang the meat up and brush off the salt.
-
Have hams smoked at a good smoke house, smoking them for 10 days with wood.
-
When finished, rub entire ham with red pepper,
-
wrap carefully in brown paper and then in muslin bags and hang up with the hock down.
-
Hams prepared in this manner will keep indefinitely, and flavor and quality improve with time
