Preview of things to come
« Reply #-1 on: December 14, 2014, 11:26:31 PM »
Last week I called my hog farmer friend to see about picking up a raw ham to smoke for Christmas.  Asked for one about 20 -22 lbs. but he said "that's a small one, we don't have small ones." So I said I would take what I could get. Tonight I picked up a 35 lb ham. It was the ham section, including the hock and the foot.

Here it is wrapped.



Unwrapped




Cut the leg off. I then separated the hock and the foot (forgot to take a picture.)



Everything is in the refrigerator defrosting and getting ready for a 5-7 day brine.

More to come

That's a pretty good sized ham.  What do you think will be the final green weight after trimming off the hock, skinning, etc.


I'm hoping to pick one up this week sometime.

I'm hoping to pick one up this week sometime.

Well it started out at 35.3lbs. Cut the hock and the foot off. They totaled 3.4lbs. So I am at 32.9lb. I figured another 1-2 pounds for the skin and some excess fat. I won't trim too much fat off, but there appears to be some excess.

Now I need to see if I can find some netting that is big enough.

Will post more as I get into it.

From the looks of it, we will be eating it from Christmas through Easter.
