First ham cure

Postby mmab9 » Thu May 18, 2006 6:01 pm

How long do you cure pork in brine to make ham?
I have just got my Wiltshire and old English Ham Cures can anyone give me an idea on how long I would have to leave it in the cure I was thinking of a small piece of meat about 1-2 kilo's in size for each of the cures :?

Hello Mmab9

I too recieved some Old English Boiled Ham Cure from Franco with no instruction regarding curing time per weight of Ham. I have e-mailed Franco and sent a PM on the Forum, still no reply (I even rang). I think the instructions should be clear. Using the Thread suggested I am using 10 days per kilo unless I hear from Franco.

Cheers Adam
