Snack ham expeirament !

[redneck5236]

Wife came home with a 14 pound pork butt . Said here you go have fun ! Time to expierament . Never made back bacon so cut three fatty chunks about 6 pounds currently curing be ready about 31st . Next trimmed down left a big junk on the bone so I put that in sauerkraut which we had the past Sunday . Next expierament was a snack ham . Ground up six pounds To cure and stuff. My grinder started smoking two mimiutes into grind . time for a new grinder. Had to revert to my old kitchen aid grinder I have not used it in years but still does the job just takes longer . Ground six pounds mixed 3lbs with cure garlic and pepper. And 3lbs with cure brown sugar and maple extract . Let cure for three days then in to 1 inch casings. Into the mes it went started at 150 degrees and increased till internal temp was 165, all in all it’s ok needs more spice next time !

Looks pretty good . I like the multiple use of the same cut . Most bang for your buck .
Nice work .

WOW, talking about getting your money's worth! All of the products look delicious. BTW - did you serve parsley boiled potatoes with the pork and kraut?

Nope ! Had good old mashed potatoes ! Like to pile the kraut right on top!

No joking i did the exact same thing. Ham from the coppa, the best looking stuff made into chops into crock with kraut, and remainder into sausage. WIN WIN WIN

That all looks fantastic. I'm a big fan of back bacon and I'm sure you will be too once you've made your own as well. I never thought to make snack sticks out of ground ham, but I have one thawing right now to go into the cure tomorrow so I'm definitely going to try that. Good stuff.
