I have a real dumb question
(dumb questions are ones that are not asked)
I have never cooked a ham in any form or fashion. I assumed that if I bought a ham and cooked it, The meat would be red like when I bought it from the store. However after smoking 20lb ham it was all white meat.
Now don't get me wrong, It was awsome!
So I'm guessing in order to get the red meat I have to cure it first?
I thought maybe I should have got shoulder instead or I just don't have any idea what I'm doing.
(maybe I should stick to brisket)
So basicly the dumb question is:
How get the red meat without a long term process?
(cut of meat and smoking process ect.)
Thank you in advance for your patience and input.
