The aitch bone is removed to aid is the cutting/serving of the finished product. In removing it one actually creates new surface area and needs to be careful about getting salt inside the created cavity. You are more likely to have something go wrong by removing the aitch bone than not. Just keep it salted and refridgerated during the curing process and it will be fine. Also, some add garlic/other spices to the cure. This is done for inferior hogs. Don't want to mask the Berkshire flavors.
I am not sure on which Italian told him how to make this but it's very different from the way myself and my family make it. First off you have to uncover the joint cap, by taking the "H" bone out. This prevent rotting, Second he did nothing to the leg after he had received it. There was no effort put into preparing the meat for the curing process. But I suppose everyone does it differently. Maybe Lou didnt want to share the exact way he does it.
why do you keep the aitch bone in? no problems with rot? Im going to go grab a mangalista hog ham the end of the month. If you like berkshire look up this hog
@92civy Your way is my way but i like the lard on it.
