Hi jonty what would I need for the air dried ham thanks

Hi jonty the cure will have supacure dry bacon /ham curing salts there is no description of the ingredients

I got it from weschenfelder so I assume it it all ready mixed I was going to salt the joint then vacuum pack and turn every day whilst in the fridge I have muslin to wrap the ham will it be ok in my garage thanks

Hi jonty that would be great I get them back Friday I have enjoyed rearing them from 8 weeks watching them feed and there different habbits .Knowing that every thing I put in I am going to get out they were finished mainly on rolled oats and Bramerley apples and various othervegetable treats Iam going to enjoy the end product just as much as I have rearing them I plan on cureing may be a leg defanately joules and some shoulder for bacon .I have curing salt some seasonings for different sausage but any recapies for cure will be much appreciated it’s going to be a busy Friday night and into Saturday I rekon thanks for the reply’s

Well Walker 570 I am planning to use as much as I can and what you have described is just what my grandparents did in there pit community of east howel and I believe every one got a share of the pig good times I believe thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply’s I am going to use jonty s cure for the joules I will have a go at the bacon

Thanks stoggieman I am hoping to succeed in curing some hams and some bacon on my journey with the meat from these pigs I have enjoyed rearing and hope to get the most out of them

Already had curing ideas on the joules orders casings seasoning for sausages anyone got recipes for fagotts cure for hams any advice techniques will be welcome with open arms

Yes please

Let your pigeons sit in a bag or bin for a good while I have baited quite a few in with pigeons even rotted with maggots coming out the smellyer the better and if the carcass is decomposed it’s harder to take away so you can get a shot hope you catch up with him soon

Hi jonty yes someone else recommended that supplier I just wondered if you had any you had used yes I have enjoyed rearing the pigs but I am also looking forward to eating them I don’t want to waste any of it was thinking of a pigs cheek broan but I like the sound of your cue better thanks for your reply

Very good indeed nice to see your dog doing well been on our first rough shoot today and one of the lads has 10 month old cocker first time out she is going to be a goodun nice write up

Hi jonty I have a couple of pigs due to be processed and was wondering what to do with the heads that dry cure for the joules sounds just what I am after plan to cure some shoulder to have you got any sausage mix recipes you like to use any info will be grateful

Bstard s they want a cable tie round there ******** some one will take them Iam sure good luck 🤞

What a day and some autumn roost shooting maybe a few squirrels while waiting for the woodies enjoy 😉

Thanks for all the responses we came to the same conclusion it wasn’t going ahead as there information on the web was last years cancellation and previous fairs nothing up to date which I thought was a bad way to promote something that is getting less popular with people who enjoy their pursuits in the field .The shooting show would have been a better day out for me but it’s our anniversary and are away up the lakes and she won’t do a detour on Sunday across to donny thanks again

That’s the thing it’s confusing what is actually going to be on offer after I read the bad reports from Ragly hall which is where we normally visit but due to other commitments we did not go

I am planning on going on Sunday but still undecided weather it’s worth the 4 hour journey anyone else planned on going thanks for looking

Do you ever travel north or any plans to in the near future

Out pigeon shooting yesterday brood of partridge with their pairents just able to fly we don’t start our rough shoot until November and still watch out for young birds birds maybe having 2posibly 3 broods with warm weather from early February

Hi mm I will take this thanks
