I’m waiting for my father in law to make me some ham. 

He has a poor excuse of a broken hand and gout. Pffffttttttt, get to work old boy. 

He sounds a lot like my father. His right arm works a treat though!

Just finished boiling the curing brine for the ham, it's about 7.5 litres worth with 470g salt, 300g regular brown sugar and 59g curing salt with a packet of pickling spice (35g). It smelled bloody nice boiling, went through the whole house 😂 I got a smallish leg roast bone in from the local butcher, 2.7kg which should be plenty as there will only be 6-7 people. 

I borrowed dad's stock pot to make it since I can't fit these larger pieces in the usual pots I use for bacon. It fits in the second brew fridge next to the fermenter so the timing is perfect because it can cure while the pilsner lagers. 

I'll do up a brine on Saturday for some bacon as well, so it can go in on Sunday, and I can smoke it and the ham together on the Sunday before Christmas day.
