Good evening.
I was just googling how to make ham at home from a boneless leg of pork and found a website with simple instructions for ham and bacon. However, it references insta-cure #1 in the instructions and I am pretty sure I will not be able to get this in Barbados. I read elsewhere that I might be able to purchase it at Bass Pro and I am due to visit Orlando in March where they have a store. However, looking at their online store they seem to stock something called LEM meat cure. I am just wondering if I can use this instead of insta-cure #1 and if so, do I use the amounts listed on the ham instructions or the amount on the LEM container? Thanks for any guidance on this - I would love to try making a ham and/or bacon at home as they are so expensive to buy here versus fresh pork - and the products that are available are pretty nasty - that leaves buying imported ham (deli) from the US, which is very expensive. The website I found was http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Cure-Ham-at-Home. Many thanks for any assistance.
