Wild Hog Ham Cured

[wilded]

Good job, it looks great. I have also done it with venison and it is wonderful.

How was the salt level? I tried it once with the meat eater recipe and it was too salty. I also should have soaked it in fresh water after the brine to draw some of that salt out.

I'd take turkey over ham any day but now I have the need to cure a ham. Thanks for posting

This is a dumb question. Did you get the gland out of it before curing/cooking?

What gland?

This one wasn't too salty. I just washed in fresh water good before smoking. The recipe called for letting it soak in fresh water 1 day prior to smoking/baking.

hog glands

Hogs have glands that can taint the flavor. Glands have a gray color are located in the rear ham and front shoulder neck area. I may be missing one other spot.
