This Is How PROSCIUTTO Crudo Is Made - We Make A Dry CURED Country HAM Leg | Glen And Friends Cooking

We Make Prosciutto Crudo at home - Dry Cured Ham Leg at home Part #1. Today we are going to turn this hog leg / pig leg / fresh ham into prosciutto crudo, dry cured ham, salt cured ham, jamón, jambon, or plain old country ham... doesn't really matter what you call it, they all follow the same basic process. The difference in naming just stems from where you make it, and the type of hog you make it with.
Ingredients:
1 whole fresh hog leg
Enough coarse salt / sea salt to completely encase leg
200g pure pork lard
30 mL black pepper
At least 1 year of your life

Method:
Trim up the hog leg, removing the H bone and tail.
Press all of the remaining blood out of the femoral artery - if any.
Weigh the leg.
Rub salt into all exposed cuts in the flesh and around the head of the femur.
Lay down 2” of salt in your ‘salting box’ and the lay leg on top.
Make sure no parts of the leg are touching the edge of the box.
Pour enough salt on top of leg to fully cover.
Allow to sit in a dark cool spot for 1 day per pound of leg.
Rinse off all salt, and then rub all over with a mixture of lard and pepper.
Tie up and hang in a dark cool spot for at least a year.
Ideal temperatures are between 50º-60ºF (10ºC-15ºC). Ideal humidity of your hanging environment needs to be between 65% and 80%.
