Over the past decade, people have taken more interest in preservation of foods and food insecurities. One way that the Lee County extension service has addressed this issue is with the country ham curing project.
Over the past two years the Lee County Extension agents have conducted a country ham program for 25 adults and over 250 youth have participated.
During the hands-on workshop, they distinguished between different types of salt and used the correct salt for curing, calculated the correct amount of cure based on the weight of the ham, correctly bagged the ham for hanging. The estimated value of the hams where around $3125.00.
