DRY SALT CURE FOR A 14-POUND HAM     >Back to Top<

1 Ham (English hams weigh roughly 14 to 20 pounds)
1 ounce Brown sugar
1/2 ounce Saltpeter (from the drugstore)
2 pounds Rough salt

The same method may be used for bacon. A leg of pork severed from the whole side is called a ham. When the leg is left attached to the side, and severed only after the cure, it is called a gammon.

You will need a salting pan. Leave the ham unskinned. Rub in the sugar and the saltpeter first, paying particular attention to the bone ends. Then rub on half the salt and put the ham to rest on slats in a slating trough (best if it has a channel for the brine to drain out). Rub in the rest of the salt at the end of a week. Leave the ham to take the salt for a total of 3 weeks (depending on the size of the ham), turning regularly. Then hang the ham to dry in a draft of warm air for a day or two. If you would like to smoke your own, you will need a barrel smoker or a smoking shed.

Light the fire with kindling first, then feed it with beech, birch, or oak sawdust. Smoke over the open end of a smoker barrel. Keep the fire smoldering constantly - it is not good for the cure to allow changes in temperature.

Twenty-four hours in the smoke should suffice for a ham; 6 hours is enough for a side of bacon. York hams are then hung to mature for 2 to 3 months in a temperature and humidity controlled room.

EASTER HAM GLAZE     >Back to Top<

1 cup apples, diced
1 cup apricots
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 cups apple cider
1/2 teaspoon crushed cloves

Soak apricots in cider for 1 hour. After ham has cooked 1 to 1-1/2 hours, remove from oven. Add above ingredients, blended together.

Ham cooking rule of thumb = 325 degrees at 25 minutes per pound.

HAM GRAVY     >Back to Top<

After you have finished the ham, remove it from the roasting pan, pour some hot water into the pan and deglaze it, getting all the brown "goody" from it. Pour the liquid into a saucepan. You probably need to have a couple of cups. Combine a couple tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/2 cup cold water and mix until smooth. Stir into the ham broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. It probably won't need any seasonings.
