Picnic Updated with pix

Postby Papa Tom » Sat Jul 18, 2009 10:04 pm

I decided to try a ham so I went and got a fresh 8 lb. picnic (OK it ain't really a ham but if I screw it up it's cheap) today and have it in the fridge curing.

2 qt ice water
3T cure #1
3T salt
6T brown sugar.

Shot up the thing as much as it would hold and zip locked with the rest of the brine. In a few days it'll go into the smoke. I intend to cook it to almost the pulling stage since a picnic isn't the best for slicing anyway.

Yeah my plan is to put put it on tonight with a brisket and cook overnight. It will only be 4 days in the pickle but I pumped it good. I have civic duties this weekend so I want to get it done before then.

Update
Turned out great I don't know that I'd change a thing. The cure was complete. Saltiness was good about the same as a commercial ham. Very tasty and tender but then I took it to 200° so it was at pulling stage. The wife my most critical critic by far and away liked it a lot. It is quite smoky but then I smoked it for 13 hrs. put it on at 10:PM and took it off at 11:Am today.
