I have just put the finishing touches on my 4 kilos of homemade ham, I did not smoke it because (my wife and family) also eat it and do not care much for the smoked flavor.I just put it in the oven at 200 F for 2 hours.
I also just made a gallon of dill pickles that I tested today on the 7th day of brine-ing,
while they have a great taste they are still a little to crunchy for my taste, I will let them brine another 3-4 days.
I usually only make a 2L batch of cukes, this time I doubled the recipe, so I also doubled the brine solution, I guess with the extra Cukes the pickles need a little longer brine-ing time.
Last week I made so southwest Beef Jerky, in which I used Thai beef , that came out great.
Last week I make some Queso Fresco (Mexican fresh cheese) , I am planning on expanding my cheese making in the next couple of weeks by making some Pepper Jack hard cheese.
If anyone has an interest in making their own food at home, want to post or give DIY made at home recipes or post foods they have made at home, Please post them.
Some of the food Items I also make are flour & corn tortillas,Carnitas,Mexican Chorizo, Chiles rellenos, and all kinds of Mexican foods.
Thanks to my wife that does most of the work.
Cheers:
