Title: Found in Freezer
Post by: tlg4942 on July 05, 2014, 09:27:25 AM: Found this in the freezer, Decided I better do something with it. Its thawing in a brine now (about 12 hours so far) and will go on tomorrow morning. The brine is a bit different this time.... The only soda I had was some someone left in my fridge. Orange... I mixed it with Boston Bay, Onion powder,salt apple cider vinegar, and a touch of soy sauce. I taste tested and was surprised, not bad at all. I was afraid of the orange but I think its going to be fine.
Will probably do a Fine Swine n Bovine dry on it, but thats to be decided yet.

Actually, had I paid more attention and not over cooked it ???, it would have been better. 2nd, I would not use the vinegar again. I would have expected it to loose its sharpness but it didn't. I have used it on ribs many times with good results. I may have left it in the brine too long. I think it and the orange soda together was the main problem. A little too sweet and Bright if that makes sense.
I have used the Boston Bay on lots of things with good results.
It will be sandwich meat or maybe I can add some BBQ sauce and clean it up a little.

I went home and tasted the ham again. It had improved some... Not such a sharp tatse. I chopped it up and put it in a pot, simmered it a little while in just a little water. Added BBQ suace and simmered a little longer. Made sandwiches for dinner and Kerry commented ... "That is a lot better than the one you made yesterday"... ::)
