Tasso Ham, 2 ways

[poopypuss]

Last weekend's smoke was hot bacon (Habanero, Ghost, and Carolina Reaper pepper).

Next week's will be Tasso Ham, 2 ways.

1. Poli's recipe for Tasso Ham.

2. Poli's recipe for Tasso Ham, but with Habanero substituted for Cayenne.

I think #2 may be called Hiney Hurtin' Ham, or Asso Burnin' Tasso Ham.

More to come.

There's 5 lbs of Bearcarver's recipe dried beef nuzzled up with the ham in the fridge, but that's at least 2 weeks away.

I'm in for this one!

LP calls for cure #2, but I think that was a typo, did you use #1 or #2?

Also, just curious, are you mad at your @55, you sure seem to mistreat it! :laugh1:

Out of the fridge, pellicle formed, and into the smoker.

The red beans are enjoying a slow simmer too!

Beans and habaneros, I think it's going to be windy at my house tonight.

I had to make my wife and daughter Voodoo Shrimp and cornbread. Although my daughter ate a big bowl of red beans before she had some shrimp.

I wanted to make Shrimp and Grits, but my wife isn't a fan of grits.

I used the traditional Tasso. The habanero Tasso is tasty, but the taste isn't the same as the traditional cayenne. It's going to be good in paella over the open fire at the campsite this Spring.
