Ok.
I have 2 bone in butt hams @7-8lbs a piece in the freezer from a pig we had butchered.
Been researching how to inject and cure and my head is about to explode!
I have the great sausage recipes and meat curing book and the recipe in there says to pump at 10% meat weight with:
For 25lbs.
5 quarts ice water
1lb salt
1 cup powdered dextrose
2/3 cup cure #1
10% pump, cover with remaining brine for 5-7 days. Rinse, smoke to 155*
So. Could I cure and pump both hams in the same brining bucket?
Or, if I just want to do 1 ham how would I adjust?
Yes. I'm very confused!
Help!
