air dried hamair dried hamMy OH went to River Cottage at Christmas and he is now air drying his own ham! He salted a leg of Glos Old Spot for 6 weeks then rinsed it in cider vinegar, wrapped it in muslin and it is now hanging in our open sided barn at the bottom of the garden! We only have to wait 4 months before we can try the Aylburton version of Parma ham................unless it goes off / is eaten by foxes of course!
