Canadian Honker Prosciutto

[nepas]

My son is on a water fowl hunting team up in PA. He was down for a few days here in FL and brought me a few Canadian honker breasts.

Soon to be Prosciutto


Sweet cure.
Top left. 3/4 Cup pure salt for curing., 2 T sugar, 1.5 T garlic powder.
Bottom Left, 2.5 T smoked paprika, 2 T semi ground summer savory, 1.5 T black pepper, 1.5 T red pepper flake.


Mixed good, I use an old shaker for applying to the meat.



Wear some food safe gloves and rub cure very good into all the meat.



Weighed, dated. In zip lock bags. Going to be a 10 day cure, after 5 days i will re apply some of the cure, then into UMAi bags. Will weigh again at the 15 day mark in the UMAi.

Looking good so far.  I will be following this one.  I may have to take a couple of pheasant breasts and try this.

Well actually they aren't necessarily Canadian; the correct name is Canada goose (or geese) and I never knew anyone who ate one on purpose. As they say, "this should be interesting."

I lived in NE PA for 20 years, the honkers ruin the lakes and ponds, filthy disease spreading things.
You dont want none of em in the area your in.

Early this morning i weighed both breasts and applied the 2nd rub of cure looking for a week or so.

I'm going to have to rinse them off tomorrow and put them in a UMAi bag. My mother in law passed away this afternoon here in FL,  Services are up in Delaware.
