Any special consideration using boar?

[akesingland]

I have only cured one 1Kg loin of pork using the traditional bacon cure (second in the Fridge). It was great. Having been a fan of Borough Market and the Wild boar, are there any special considerations using boar over pork for bacon?

No, you can use the same cure as for normal pork bacon or ham.

However if you want to add a special touch to a wild hog ham or bacon use a little red wine in the cure plus some choped onions and garlic. You also can add herbs and juniper berries. I always find that these ingredients in addition to the cure add a very special flavour to all cured wild game meats.
