Corned Ham

I found an NYT article on corned hams (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/d...orned-ham.html sorry, probably behind a paywall) and I'd never heard of them before. I've got a couple of large pork shoulders in my freezer and may have to try one of these. Anyone else ever made one?

Looks interesting and fun pkadare . No cure used? Be sure to keep us in the loop if you do this.

I have done this. It is like a salty pork roast. I did it because my wife was pregnant and didn't want to consume the cure. I smoked mine though because... Well I like smoked meat!! It has a different texture than ham but is very good.

Would that be considered pastrami ham ??

[Backroadmeats]

Well kind of I guess😃😃 I called it grey ham since the color was not your typical pink from the cure and the texture was a bit more stringy like a pork roast.. but it was still very good

If I do this, and I may not since I just remembered that our overflow fridge in the basement gave up the ghost last summer, I'd smoke as well.

Corned ham is still popular in Southern Maryland and parts of Eastern North Carolina. Chef Bill Smith is famous for his corned hams so I did a search on his name. Here is an article that describes the process. In Southern Maryland it is really about the stuffing put in the ham so a search for stuffed ham should give more info on that. https://www.ourstate.com/corned-ham/
