Meat sat in the brine for 3 days. Took out at noonish today, rinsed off and soaked in cold water for about 3 hours to leach out some of the salt

Did a slather of yeller mustard, old bay, and fresh black pepper, then into the oven where it still is now. Sure as hell smells like ham

Standing by with knife waiting for it to hit temp so I can sample............................

Yessir

Anyone with a little space in their fridge can do this. I will never buy sandwich meat or a ham again. WAAAYYYYYYY better than store bought processed ham
