colonel newsome's kentucky hams

The famed, and limited, hams, mentioned, among other places, in Peter Kaminsky's book "Pig Perfect," are in and shipping. I scored a nice 16-17 lb. ham, which I've hung for a little more aging.

Wade,

I have one of those bad boys myself. Just looking at it is like a favorite song on a rainy day.*



Enjoy,

Gary,

You have me thinking about creating a shrine to my Newsome ham.

Wade,

I've had mine hanging for about 10-months, 'bout time to stop admiring and start eating.

Here's a link to Pigmon's pig-a-rific post from his and Trixie-Pea's visit to Colonel Newsome's

Gary,

The thrift-shop pig is courtesy of my girlfriend, who created the pig/rose poster from it. I'm waiting on the Famous LTHForum pork clock to complete the installation.

Wade,

Pork Clock is the perfect finishing touch.

Glad to see you have a drip catcher under the leg-o-piggy, it drips, not a lot, but enough to necesitate a drip pan.

I'm really interested in your eventual uses as I'm not quite sure what I'm doing with mine as of yet.

Enjoy,
Gary

. . . with the LTH pork clock.



Gary,

How long have you had yours hanging?

Depending upon how much longer I decide to continue to age/can stand to wait, I'm thinking baking the whole ham for a shorter additional age, a slice and fry for a longer age, or even going for a prosciutto.

Cheers,
Wade
