Saw this Ham at the local Super Market last night. Its not cooked just Slightly cured so it does have to be cooked before eating. That thing is huge Smoking it would take a long time me thinks like Sous Vide long lol. One big problem its the only one (at the Market there may be more at others IDK) Suggestions?? If its still there when I go back I think I'll get it what could go wrong
Been a dang dang long time since I did one of these up, but they do smoke up beautiful! You have soak it. Probably 24-36 hours changing the water often. Gotta rid this beast of salt. Other than that, it smokes up like a fresh ham. I did one that was not soaked, and although most beautiful, it was hardly edible! If you go to the Smithfield web there you will find some soaking instructions.
Jesus Lonnie... That picture. If you didn't have the ZZ-Top beard I would think you were the photographer for Betty Crocker! Cant wait till January/February for my next trip to the island to look you up!
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
I'll diffenutly try frying some if I get it!! Thanks DWCowles (hows that DJI Mavic doing?? I got me a Parrot bebop 2 to use as an overhead camera, hadn't made any videos to try it out yet though. )
A couple of times. My phone was old enough that it didnt really work right, so I upgraded phones (my old one was 4 years old it was time lol) the controls are diffirent from DJI so I'm still getting use to them but it is fun and the camera is rock steady!!
I deleted my response after seeing that you said UNCOOKED. That is actually even better! Here is what to do.
Wash the ham well, then soak for 36 hours changing the water every 4 hours or so. After the 36 hours are up, wash again with warm water and scrub with a brush to remove the pepper and mold (it's normal, and will not hurt you, just scub it off) Smoke it over hickory for about an hour low and slow at about 225. remove the ham and but in an aluminum foil hotel pan. Crank the smoker up to about 325. add in about 4 cups of chicken or pork broth, and seal the pan up with a double layer of foil, like you are crutching a brisket or butt. cook in smoker until about 150 degrees. then remove foil, drain liquid, and glaze with chris lilies apricot glaze (the recipe is here on this website) place the pan on the rack under the ham and the ham on the rack above. put the smoke to it again (I use hickory) and bring her up to about 160-165 internal re glazing every 15-20 minutes or so. let cool just like a but, and then slice and enjoy. I usually reduce the glaze down by about 1/3 and serve it as a sauce for the ham slices. The bone should be reserved for hoppin johns or hambone and sweet potato soup. the broth you drained can be used as the base to the injection on your next pork butt. I know it seems like a lot of work, but it will make you a friggin rockstar on Easter!
Dang texastweeter that sounds interesting and Good!! Now I hope its still there. Had to smoke a brisket today to make room in the fridge for it (the ham)
I did one like that for a lady I work with. It wasn't loaded down with salt so I was able to just smoke for a while then bring it in to the oven and kept coating with a glaze. I scored it precook.
