Thank goodness I am no longer a vegetarian!

This is prosciutto number one. The second is still getting ready. Last winter, my boyfriend’s uncle and dad bought the pork legs and began the process of turning them into deliciousness. I am not sure exactly what that process entails, but involves smoking, salting, packing in wheat perhaps(?) and then hanging to dry for several months in the cool dry air of the old stone house. I don’t know the exact details at this point, except this was about 9-10 months in the making, and worth the wait! Needless to say, we are going to buy at least 4 more this winter. Like a girlscout, you can never be too prepared, and you can never have too much prosciutto hanging around!
