I have posted earlier on our 1st foray into the air drying hams experiment - and we are enjoying the results very much
So, this year we are doing it slightly differently - namely we are leaving the bone in this time.
We were also wondering about the step of wrapping the hams once they have had their salting session (they've been in for 6 days so far, another 15 days to go)
Last year we used the stockingette stuff so got a very tightly fitting covering onto the hams. These covers got pretty manky during the hanging period (8 months-ish) with the mould growth on them and everything had to be peeled off once we came to taking the ham down from the rafters.
We were wondering about not wrapping the hams at all this time when we hang them, but basically hang them in the rafters in a fly free cage made from fine net curtains - is this a realistic proposition?
Thanks
