Early Morning Thread, 12/27/14 - Ham. [krakatoa]
So on Christmas morning, I mentioned the ham that went on the smoker.
We've done some good ones before. But this was possibly the best thing I've ever done with a pig.
8 days in a cure my wife created called "Gingerbread".
1 day in a water bath (with the water refreshed twice).
3 hours in the smoker at 225 with a steady diet of cherry wood chunks.
1 hour rest, then an hour in the oven @ 325 with a simple raspberry/ginger glaze applied in 3 coats.
I only wish we'd bought a bigger ham. I will not make that mistake again.
