Sooo, I have an 18lb pork leg that's been in wet cure for 3 weeks and need to pull it out Saturday. I'm worried it's not long enough in the brine but hungry people must be fed or I'll be drug through the house like a united passenger!
I've read the past threads on fresh pork legs so not a ton of questions but would appreciate any quick tips...
I guess just to be safe, I'll bring the temp to 160 instead of 145. Should I pull it from the cure a day early? Transfer to a brine? Let it dry out and rub it?
Thanks in advance! Happy Easter
