[boberosabbq]

I took the whole week of Christmas off mainly just to cook. Got a brisket for Christmas planned, grilled pizza somewhere in the mix, ribs to take to the inlaws Christmas Eve. Prime Rib for the new years eve. Some fatties just to spead some holiday joy.

Smoked turkey and fatties for my bunch. My dad made me sware to not bring anything when I go over for Xmas Eve. Going to try one more time on turkey before I give up. Hey, we all have to have something that we can't cook perfectly.

... everything centered around the ... double smoked ham ... from the Brethren. Just received the last item for the injection (Watkins butter pecan extract) and I will be using a full (20 lb) Smithfield smoked ham for this cook. Plan to inject and cook Saturday and enjoy until it's all gone. May not want more ham until this time next year!

Oh yea, I'm doing a Double smoked Dr. Chicken ham. Also thinging of doing a smoked pork loin ham I saw on another site.

Smoked Pork Loin Ham
4-5 pound pork loin
1 qt. water. (or to cover)
1/2 cup Tenderquick or 1 & 1/3 teaspoon prague powder
2 cups maple syrup


Put the loin in a 2 gallon ziplock.
Mix the ingredients and then pour into ziplock covering the loin. Place in dish and in the refrigerator for 5 days. Swoosh it around every day.
**Note, those two gallon ziplocks are cool, but they ziplock on them stinks. So be careful when swooshing around.
On cooking day, remove the loin from the brine and rinse it really well, then pat dry and leave out on counter while fire gets ready. I smoked mine with hickory, at 225 it still only took about two hours. Take it off at 140-145 would be fine.
If you want, you can take it off around 125 and score it and glaze it, then put it back in to finish.

Glaze with Dr. Chicken's glaze.

Dont know what all is on the menu yet. from what ive heard i will be getting to try my hand at a whole hog or javelina, im sure there will be prime rib and the sorts as well.. the FiL likes my cooking, so i get nominated everytime we go visit to do most of the cooking.

 

[Smokin Gator]

Going to the inlaws in NC for Christmas so no smoking until after then. I am taking a Boliche Asado (eye of the round stuffed with chorizo, ham, bacon, onions, and green peppers) that I will marinade with sour oranges.

Will serve with black beans cooked with a smoke ham bone, yellow rice and fried ripe plantains.

When I get back the smoker will run for days. Doing ribs, butts, briskets, atbs and fatties. Got to get the freezer back in order for the winter months. Also going to play with smoking some different kinds of sausage.

Merry Christmas to all,
