It was on TV, as well as completely unrelated to cured pork, only for whatsoever argue the give-and-take made me mean value of cute little, individually sized hams. That’s all it took, as well as off I went trying to figure out how to brand this matter happen. I knew I wanted a procedure that wouldn’t require the pinkish curing salts used inwards commercially produced hams, non because they are unhealthy, they’re not, only because it would last difficult for some of y'all to find.
I’ve read things inwards the by close using celery’s naturally occurring nitrates to plough over the same thing, thence that’s what I used, as well as equally you’ll take away heed me tell several times inwards the video, I was thrilled amongst the results!

If y'all do, as well as follow these elementary steps, I mean value y'all volition accept a vacation repast “to decease for.” Sorry, only y'all didn’t aspect me to make this entire post service without i forced reference to the play, did you? Enjoy!
