Wooh that looks good Andy; it's got me salivating here!

Is the salt level right for you?

It certainly looks mighty fine. How did you cook it? I.e. time, temperature, basting, etc..

I boiled it for two and a half hours then glazed it with a mixture of honey mustard and brown sugar before roasting it at 180c for about forty minutes.. basting twice, it seems just about right, should slice easier when its cold.

That looks fantastic! Its my goal this year to move into other aspects of curing that I haven't done yet. I am really looking forward to trying a ham, and after seeing your results I'm really getting eager.

Hi Spuddy and Andy

I have read this thread so many times. Which cure recipe was used for your fine hams in the picture?

Cheers
