Thread: Turning venison into ham and bacon

@7mm Rem Mag Now it looks like you have found a good butcher you can get some snags done next time ,with the Venison ham we find using a Old School cloth ham bag while in the fridge keeps it from " drying out" & lasts longer in the fridge etc & retains the flavor best being skinless.

The missus dampens it with a light vinegar/water mix & it keeps for ages (only the 2 of us on the farm now)

With our Sausage & Salami making l have found it allows a good use of Chammy & Tahr meat as well, mixed in with the Venison etc & it helps to make them great flavorsome sausages .

@bunji its funny you should mention the cloth ham bag, my wife was talking to the ladies at bowls yesterday about the ham and they told her about the ham bag and also the white vinigar and dampening of the bag etc so we bought one today.

Thanks for sharing this with us and anyone who doesn't know about the ham bag make sure you give it a go. If it keeps your ham good in the fridge for weeks its well worth a go, it means you can take your time eating it and it remains great.
