Ham curing time

Postby Freddy » Mon Sep 10, 2007 8:29 pm

Chaps, just to check, I've just put 3.5 kg leg into Franco's ham Brine, having given it 10% pump.
How long do I want to leave it in the brine for?
Presumably having injected it with the brine, I don't need to leave it in for the full 5 days per 0.5kg that seems to be reccommended on this site?
Many thanks for any replies

does the premix display it's ingredients?

Curing is not an exact science... So it's not a sin to bin.
