HIGH QUALITY HAMS
High quality country style
hams are always in demand.
Although Warren County
farmers produce a good many
hieh quality cured hams, we
still lose many dollars every
year through hams that spoil,
and off flavored and damaged
by insects and bacteria.
There are many ways to cure
hams and many ideas on how
to handle cured meats. How
ever at this stage of the pork
season we are mainly concern
ed with cutting and curing or
salting the meat
Use the long cut on hams;
this is more desirable because
this ? cut will not allow your
hams to dry out as fast and
decrease cracking, during the
curing stages, allowing ham
resistant to insect damage.
Hams may be sugar cured
or straight *salt cured. The
mix for sugar cure is 8
pounds of salt. 3 pounds of
su^ar and 3 ounces of salt
peter. Salt Is the primary
curing ingredient. Sugar gives
a more desirable color and
helps keep Ihe ham from be
coming quite so hard during
the aging period. The t.vp:1
sugar used does' not make
much difference, but granulat
ed light brown or white?is
usually used. Saltpeter gives
the bright red color to the
lean and helps produce that
good red gravy that we like
with good country cured ham.
Apply the curing mix to the
meat as soon as it's4 cut. Use
t 1,4 ounces of curing mix
per pound of ham, or about
R pounds for each 100 pounds.
Rub the curing mix on the
ham at three different times.
This will prevent any red
spots and give more even salt
penetration. Put the first ap
plication on when the meat is
cut and ready to go on the
shelf. Don't put meat in a
box. leave open on shelf; this
gives a mvre uniform cure.
The second application should
be applied on the third day
znd the third application on
the 10th day.
You need not rub the ham
a lot?just enough to cover it
?:of.d. Too much rough handl
ing will break the surface
membranes and cause the
hams to get hard and dry
during aging. Be sure to
pack some curing mix in the
shank pnd at each application.
Ideal temperatures' for shelf
curing hams are from 36 de
crees to 40 degrees F. When
temperatures go above 50 de
frees F. for any length of
time there is some chance of
fpcilagc There's little chance
of spoiling due to tempera
ture as long as- the internal
temperature stays below 45
degrees F.
One of the main objections
to farm-cured meats is that
they are too salty. This can
br prevented by following the
curing schedule:
15 lb. ham stays in cure 2
davs per lb., or 30 days.
20 lb. ham stays in cure
13 4 days per lb., or 35 days.
25 lb. ham stays in euro
1 1 2 days per lb.. 38-40 days.
For each day the tempera
ture average is below freezing
during the curing process add
an extra day to the curing
schedu'~.. Be *" mark
vour calendar
for date of %
and when mea'. is *o w.
of cure. I* hams are i.
ing to ue smoked, jus* .i
off excess cure at the en^ of
curing schedule. They may
be washed, but this is not
nccessary. Do not soak the
hams, as this may get excess
water on surface of ham.
If hams are to be smoked,
ri-move them from cure and
snak in cold water for 1 1 /2
to 2 hours to remove salt.
This prevents salt streaking
and gives the cured product a
better appearance. Hang the
hams to dry after soaking.
Heat during smoking will re
move some of the moisture
picked up while soaking.

Agent for bulletins on curing
quality hams.
