Learn how to Cure a ham in a few easy steps. This Ham Curing recipe is easy and only takes 48 hours to cure!!! You will start out with your pork leg and I would encourage you to GET A BIG ONE because once it is smoked you won't be able to get enough of it!

THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT YOU WILL NEED IS PINK SALT OR PRAGUE POWER #1. We got ours from our local butcher ** The Butcher's Block in the Comox Valley http://www.thebutchersblock.ca/ ** (see links below for more pink salt options)

First remove the skin from the pork leg and remove the skin if desired. We like it with no skin best. Second you will measure out the ingredients needed for your ham cure.

You will need:
8 cups water
1.5 cups kosher salt
2 cups Brown sugar
Spices: 1 tbs Coriander, 1tbs rosemarie, 1 tbs mustard powder, 1/2 tbs garlic powder, 1/2 tbs onion powder, 12 cloves, 1/2 tbs pepper
7 tsp Prague powder or Pink salt

Mix this all together and bring to a boil. Once boiled remove from heat and add to 8 cups ice water and cool to room tempreture. once cooled inject the cure repeatedly into the middle of the ham. Once ham has been injected, place in large food safe bucket and pour over the remaining cure/brine and top up with water until pork leg is fully submersed.

Lastly place in the fridge for 48 hours. After 48 hours remove from fridge and begin the cooking process.
