Pantry Meals | How to COOK CURED MEAT | 8+ Month Old Mini "Ham", Sauerkraut and Potatoes for Dinner
Hi everyone, I've gotten quite a few questions on how I would cook some of these cures other than sliced thin and fried or raw, so today I'm cooking up a "ham" I started back in early fall that has been hanging in less-than-ideal conditions since then. The fat is a little rancid and the ham is rock solid, but just wait and watch this humble little chunk of goodness be transformed with a gentile all day simmer.
Step 1 - cover in water and slow cook/simmer for 4+ hours depending on size and condition of the meat you are using.
(optional) - After it's simmered all day you can roast it to crisp up skin and fat if you want! (I wouldn't do a roasting step on a leaner cut of meat as that will just dry it out) 375 for 30 minutes is usually a good start.
Step 2 - Add a sauce or glaze if desired. I love to mix some powdered mustard seed with honey and baste the ham with that while it's nice and hot.
Step 3 - Slice and serve with potatoes and greens! Or whatever you enjoy!
The meat I used in today's video was just a small fatty leftover trim piece I didn't want to freeze when I was processing last year's pig. I tossed it in the ham brine with some hocks and hams in early fall. I used the Cider Ham recipe from my favorite Curing book linked below!
