Venison Ham (Updated Photo)

[archer36]

This is my first one. It won't be the last. Took a hindquarter from a "smaller" Doe and  boned it out. Made Osso Bucco with the shanks and Ham with the rest. Excellent.

This is what it looks like halfway in. More consistent look. Nice smoke ring.

It tastes incredible too! I just gave a piece to my hunting friend as he was walking by and he said you wouldn't know it's venison.

Looks Great!! I always wanted to try making it, I think you just pushed me over the edge on doing it this year! Gonna have to eye up a smaller doe!👍👍

I am taking a suggestion from a member of a Cooking Wild Game group on Facebook. He suggested I inject the brine into the deepest part of the meat to ensure full coverage. As you can see, the middle did not fully get the brine/cure. As I said, it was my first one. Always learning.

Yeah, smaller deer are perfect because there really isn't large muscles to make steaks and roasts out of.  Also, who wants to pay $90 to butcher a small deer? Just cut it into quarters and remove the backstraps and tenderloins.
