Boar ham

[Ringer]

So dad gave me some wild boar meat that was quartered. I am considering doing a cure on it and smoking it like a Christmas ham. Has anyone done this?

Does anyone have a good cure/brine recipe for wild boar?

I have done wild boar ham, but the hams were off little bacon bits.....30# piglets. Flavor was good, but with all the tough connective tissue, made eating difficult.

See my signature for wild hog ham....

Thanks for the tip on the connective tissue. It sounds like I probably don't want to go that route then.

I've done quite a few in the past. The big sows were always the best, boars seemed to turn out a bit too dry, not enough fat in them. RAY
