In my youth we smoked hams and bacon that were salt cured and would keep in a cool dry place.

Now I'm guessing the type of ham you are looking for will be smoked but minus the salt treatment or a greatly reduced salt treatment. They will not keep unless frozen.

Now my knowledge borders on negative value but I'd suggest you try your original recipe but with much less salt. It may take a few runs before you come up with a salt ratio that will make your family happy. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
