Boiling ham recipe.

[JollyJohn]

Hi.

I want to prepare some leg of pork as boiling ham for Christmas. Anyone got a good brine recipe, and some advice on how long to brine for?

I believe Oddley wrote the definitive work (on here somewhere.)

Combined with Wheels' input it certainly opned my eyes to a subject that I had always struggled with and I now brine nearly as much as I hang

I've just remembered, I did a 'standard brine calculator' based on one of Oddley's cures at 10 days per kg. It's here:

Thanks guys. After brining, I'll give a light smoking, then steam or slow cook to 75-80 deg.
