The Gammon Steak Experiment - Part 1

Gerry made up a recipe for making gammon steak to keep Ben happy. We got a bunch of center cut roasts without the bones so they look like back bacon and tossed them into this solution:

1/2 cup salt
3/4 cup molasses
3 TBS Cure #1
20 Juniper Berries
4 Bay leaves crushed
3 TBS Black Pepper (cracked)
1/4 tsp sodium erythorbate (isoascorbate)
1 tsp Mace
1 tsp liquid smoke
3 quarts water

Heat the mess until boiling and let cool. We went and lifted while it can to room temperature. We injected the center of each roast with a spray injector, stuck it into a vacuum container and drowned the meat in the solution. In 14 days, we'll see what we got.
