Hello all-
Question for the masses. I am going to cure and smoke my first leg to make a ham for Easter. I did my first bacon a month ago or so and turned out fantastic. For this project I am trying to find a little information. I found one recipe that uses Tender Quick with a 3 cup for 2 gallons of water solution, adding in some spices and 3 cups of brown sugar. The question I have is, do I need to inject the leg as well, or will soaking it for 10-14 days get it done? This is about a 20# leg.
Any ideas would be very helpful!
Thanks!
