Alistair,
I have a leg of air dried ham hanging at the moment. Its been there since the end of Sept. I am supposed  to give it another couple of months before I try it but the suspense is killing me  :roflanim:

Go on - give it a try.
We started on our chorizo last week but have 6 saucisson ( rosette) hanging up that should be ready in the next couple of weeks. They look great but were still a little soft to the touch last week. Last year we weighed them frequently and started on them when they had lost 30% in weight but a lot of the detail has gone out of our "smallholding" in recent times. We now do things when they seem to be right.

Bionic, you could try it already now - just slice a bit off the end and then cover it up again and hang it back. When you try it again in 2 months time, you'll find the flavour will be (slightly) different, the older it is the stronger it is. But 5 months is quite allright to start nibbling away on it  :yum:

Just love roast pork and will have a go at the Chinese red cooked recipe. A few weeks ago we had a family get together. I minced some of our pork to make home made sausage rolls which went down a treat with everyone. Just added herbs,salt and pepper.Now the family want me to make more for Easter.
