Sumac brined Ham

Post by titch »

Just laid down some legs to brine in a Maple Syrup and Sumac based brine.
I am impressed in the aroma from the brine, Sumac has a very Berry taste.
lets see how it palms out, I am flying on this one as the middle East tend to steer away from Pork.
:D

Their loss Titch, It goes well with pork. You will not be disappointed.
All my hams have sumac. It kind of brightens up the taste a bit. Tamerind paste also works the same way.
Just a tip, Make a tea from it to extract the flavour, let sit overnight and then add the lot to the brine.
The flavour already being liquid will transfer into the meat more efficiently.

Agreed with the sumac & pork, creates wonderful flavour profile when combined with a sweetness like maple syrup. I've considered this as a restaurant style experiment dish with pork medallions, but never considered this as a small-goods brine. Well done.

Agreed, the profile of Sumac and Tamerind are similar......I don't understand not eating pork....but I don't understand religion, politics and women either!

The taste was ok, nothing to shout about.
I will go back to maple syrup, I think I have lost my way with spices, time to regroup so to speak.
I need to source better Pork as well, I don't believe its a fresh as it could be
