Re: Christmas coming: Me need ham

I have a recipe which calls for salt peter. If you are in the states you will not be able to get it as it is also used in explosives. On investigating I found something called Prague Powder which is used for curing. I have just ordered it cant tell whether or not it works. Hope the recipe works. I would love to hear about the smoking aspect.

Ham Curing (1)

1 ten pound leg of pork
1 pound salt
2 tblsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt petre
Pinch mixed spice
Pinch nutmeg
1 quart boiled water (cooled)

Add sugar and salt petre to salt and mix thoroughly. Divide salt mixture into two parts. Mix one half in boiled water.
Add pinch of spice and nutmeg to other half.
Divide remaining salt mixture into two parts.
Put away one part to be used after the fifth day and rub remaining half into pork. Rub thoroughly into skin and part into the fleshy part. (Use all of the salt.)
Using injector, inject meat, with liquid, five times, two in the knuckle part and three into the fleshy part.
Wrap meat in two layers of greased paper and several layers of newspaper, and tie securely. Tie well to secure the shape of the ham.
After five days open and rub in remaining salt. Leave for five or six weeks to cure.
Smoke slightly.
