Shoulder ham?

in Pork
Anyone done a shoulder ham? I won't to do a 5-8lb ham and I can't find a fresh ham that small anywhere. Need to get it in the cure tonight and there are some great shoulder roasts at whole paycheck that would seem to for the bill.
Any thoughts?

I haven't done it but I know a guy that has.
Just like ham with a bit more fat. We get a product up here called cottage roll which s a bone out shoulder cured and smoked.

Just wanted to say hello brother Tex. I'm more than confident that you have the ham under control.

#4 in cure tonight or in AM should be plenty of time to have it for the big day. What are you curing in. Do you have a particular wet cure recipe you prefer to use on fresh ham?LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

That's what I was about to say. I love ham around the holidays... would probably pass out from sheer joy after eating a home-cured one. On the bucket list.The Cen-Tex Smoker said:Sweet. I got a really Nice picnic. Been reading up and I'm getting excited. Ham with more fat? Yes please.

Turned out very good! Thanks Steve. You are correct as usual. I'll probably do this from now on. I like the extra fat

I turbod one last night myself due to time constraints. However it was not cured at home due to work. Turned out pretty good nonetheless.

A-Holes left the skin on and rolled it inside. I have never dealt with a bigger ass hat meat guy than this in my life (whole foods). We were looking for a raw ham and he was a **** about that. He has a 22 Pound leg and said the very smallest he could cut would be 11lbs. I said we didn't have time to cure an 11 lb leg in 4 days. He suggested that we buy one of thier crap precooked spiral cut hams because "you know, they taste like taste like ham". We came back from the bar like 30 min later to buy this shoulder roast and someone had bought the 22lb ham. He said "look what I sold while you guys were thinking about it". I'm thinking I'm going to go dump this in his lap tomorrow.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Brother Tex I feel I would probably beat his ass if I had to deal with him.
