if i make this again(prolly not) i will chunk up the ham and soak it in water first,the ham is too salty,of course the older one gets the more sensitive to salt
Amen to that. I dont add salt to much of anything anymore and if I do its sparingly In fact I cringe if I see the shaker used liberally by a youngun cooking something I will be eating later. If I catch it in time, I let them know what my grandmother always said when cooking-you can add later, you cant take it out. Kind of makes for a polite correction for us older folk but Nana meant this for anything while cooking. Or if in company that can take it, its HEY, cut the chit-some of us have to watch our hearts now!!
thats why i like making my own stuff......my go to depending on ingredients for sausage is 1.3%-1.4% salt,store bought stuff is like 2.5% thats why youll see me mix chorizo with ground beef to dilute the salt content,gonna halfta make my own hams now
