Wild harvested organic pork Boneless Smoked Ham
Cure.
Cure.
‘Denco' Total Cure 1.7kg cure per 45L of water, 3.5kg of salt per 45L of water to brine after cure has been dissolved. 1 kg dark brown sugar per 45L of water Inject/pump brine into meat to 35-40% of weight. Soak in brine 2-3 days
After the curing process, remove your meat and thoroughly rinse it under a cold running tap, ensuring to remove any and all excess salt and spices. After this, soak your meat in room temperature water for 2 hours to further remove excess saltiness and cure.
Equalise and form the Pellicle.
Place the meat on a plate uncovered inside your refrigerator for 24 hours. The remaining cure and salt should 'equalise' throughout the meat, resulting in a less salty and more 'even' tasting final product.
The meat will form a 'pellicle'. This is a tacky sheen that will appear on the surface of the meat. The pellicle will help your meat more readily absorb a Hickory smoke flavour when smoking.
Smoke.
Set smoker to 110° C and add hickory chips. Cook hams until they reaches an internal temperature of 65° C.

ReplyDeleteHi Wayne,
ReplyDeleteShaun from the boat ramp in Melbourne.
Did you have to add the 45g of culture to the 1kg salami mix?
What were yoyr trying conditions like? Do you dry in a chamber? What's the humidity like?
Franz and I are going to attempt a batch of salami here in Melbourne and have a few questions please
