How to use

Ingredients for 2.5 kg of ham: 

• 2 boneless pork hams (with total weight of 2.5 kg), 
• 1.5 L cold water, 
• 0.5 L water for brewing mix, 
• 140 g curing salt, 
• 6 g sugar, 
• 1 pack of CHOSEN FOR HAM mix of spices and herbs. 

Recipe: 

Pour 0.5 L of water over the mix of spices and herbs. Bring it to the boil, then cool it down. Prepare curing brine from of 1.5 L of water, curing salt and sugar. Put the hams into the curing container and inject them with about 60 ml of brine per 1 kg of meat. Next, add cooled water with the mix of spices and herbs to the rest of the curing brine, stir it well and pour it over the meat so that it is completely submerged. It is best to put some weight on the meat from above (e.g. by using a plate) so that it does not emerge from the brine. Cure the meat for 10-14 days in a refrigerator. After curing, remove the hams from the brine, put them into meat netting and hang them in a draughty place to dry. The hams so prepared should be smoked in 50-60°C for 3-4 hours (until their colour is golden). For smoking, use wood chips, e.g., alder and beech wood chips. After smoking, scald them hams in water with temperature of 75-80°C, until the temperature inside the meat is 68°C.

Ingredients: spices 70% (sweet pepper, black pepper, juniper berries, hot pepper, nutmeg, allspice), herbs 16.7% (thyme, marjoram), granulated garlic.
