Wild Schwein

Wild Schwein = Wild Boar (Hog)

One of my Physical Terrorist's son went wild boar hunting, and shot one. We were talking about it and I said hey have him bring over a ham and I can cure it for him.  They brought over two hams and also a couple of packages of what he called bacon. Ended up being the flap of meat between the ribcage and the ham. No Problem I can cure it just like bacon. (Been done with the same cut of meat off deer, so I know it works done it before) The Bacon and one of the Hams went into the Bradley's this morning at 7:30.

The Ham started out looking like this



Took all the bones out and stuffed it into a ham net.



Mixed up a batch of injection/brine



Weighed said little ball of ham. Hard to see but it is 5:11.7 pounds (5 pounds 11.7 ounces)



Did a little math and figured out the amount then injected the Ham



Put the lid on the bucket and into the fridge to rest for a week after making sure the Ham was kept submerged with a plastic cup



Can't seem to find any pictures of the bacon I will get some pictures during the smoking slicing part

After the Smoke had rolled for 8 hours (Whiskey Oak) and I had gotten a couple hours of sleep.



Here she is all done. I guess it doesn't matter what size the ham is 28 pounds or 6 pounds it still takes 36 hours in the Bradley to finish the ham to 153 degrees.

Nothing wrong with that cut being used for bacon at all; it's just side bacon. And what you did with it looks pretty dang tasty!

So does that ham.  A high YUM factor!
