We recently butchered a hog and I took one of the hams and cut it in half. I did this so I would have smaller chunks of meat to work with while figuring out the process of brining a ham.
I opted to try the Brown Sugar Kit from LEM Products. It requires you to pump the brine in the ham and then...

I could use some help. This Friday I plan on making some buckboard bacon and a ham from two pork butts I picked up from the last Kroger sale. I will cut off the coppa roast from each. I would like to use PS Seasoning Maple Cure for the BB and Maple Cure with Walton's California Ham...
I have decided to make a gammon/ham for Christmas this year, so I made a test one recently and had some friends over for an early Christmas dinner. We call it gammon on my side of the world so I will refer to it as gammon from now on :emoji_grin:
I used the equilibrium dry-cured method and...
Hello everyone,
I apologize for making my first post like this, but I am posting this in a complete panic. My husband and I decided to cure and smoke a ham for Christmas. We've smoked many meats before but never cured anything. Long story short, we found a recipe online and the ham has been in...
So many people love a good holiday ham. My family gatherings are so large that we have ham at both Thanksgiving and Christmas along with whatever dishes other people bring. No food is wrong to in addition to the traditional ham and turkey dishes.
This is a very detailed "How To" on making an...
I wanted to cure and smoke a ham (my first), and only had Tenderquick sitting around. Against better judgement, I decided to use the brine recipe per the package. Here's what I did:
- 2.5 lbs pork shoulder
- 1 cup TQ
- 4 cups water
- Let sit for 7 days. Drain and soak in water 2 hours.

I just cured and smoked my first ham. I just went by a recipe I found and advice from a friend. I wish I would have found this forum first. Anyway, it is a bone-in, 7 lb ham. Even though I cured it for 5 days, I have an I cured spot in the middle. Can I still eat it? I did not know about...
My Sam's Club carries small ready-to-eat Carver hams, which are 3# to 4# boneless rear leg outside muscle ham that is maybe 3" thick dead center. (Boy, is that a mouthful!) Heads up.... they are showing back up in my store for the holidays. These guys are good as-is but very tasty when...
Got the hams all smoked up yesterday . Got them out and rinsed on Weds. overnight in the fridge to smoke on Thurs.
One night turned into 2 , and smoked Friday morning . Not sure about the 2 night dry in the fridge , but couldn't be helped .
By habit I hung in the smoker to dry . Didn't need...
Good morning!
Since there is only two of us when choosing a cut for ham I go small. My first attempt worked out well. It was a slightly smaller picnic which I brined for 7 days and then smoked at 180 for an internal temp of 150. I'm now reading I over brined it. My question is this. Is...
Good Morning and Merry Christmas to all! I attempted my first smoked ham from scratch this year from a pig I butchered this fall. I was super excited about the whole process. Due to some time constraints I ended up using the sausage maker brand brown sugar ham cure as it claimed around a 7 day...
New to smoking. Trying pork bellies for bacon and also ham. Wet cured now trying the cold smoker out. If the meats cured do I need to make sure the temp is below a certain temp? I can ask somewhere else also.
It was a big day in my virus isolation. I took the garbage out! It must be time for a special meal. Actually, I went to the grocery store and they had a ham on sale. Whatever, it is always time for a nice ham!
I know what you’re thinking. We can’t have company and who will be eating all that...
Summarized version of the recipe:
Use a spiral sliced ham (I got mine at Costco for $2.29/lb)
Place the ham into a shallow pan.
Peel back each and every slice and douse with maple syrup and my original rub..(if you have another barbecue rub that you like and is low on salt, that will work too...
Hi,

The method I used is:
1 kg pork leg (Whole top muscle)
4.5 liter water
225 gr salt
225 gr sugar
1 tsp pink curing salt

Hi I have a boneless fresh half of pork leg that invoked out and I’m brining it for Easter. I used pops brine and it said 3-4 weeks but after re reading it, it said for whole hams, I was curious as is this is too long and if it is how long should I bribe it? I also injected it rather thoroughly.
so I have a fresh uncurled bone in ham I was thinking about making for Easter. My plan was to use pops brine. I just had a thought about making it boneless and tying it really good. I was just wondering if there’s some tips or tricks about doing it? And if it might be too small at this point to...
Well not THAT busy. Mostly just standing around and drinking a little whiskey. Was pretty busy about a week and a half ago. Cured two hams; a sweetheart made with the top round as well as a bigger one (split in half) with the rest of the round. Bacon'd two of the bellies and threw the hock in...
