Venison ham?

RE: Venison ham?
Prosciutto is just country ham with a fancier name, any country ham recipe will work. Basically you tuck it into a box covered in salt and wait for it to quit "sweating". If you add spices to it you'll get a cappicola style ham. Once this is done you smoke the ham to taste.

Traditional Prosciutto is salted and pressed (slowly) for a few months then dry cured for about 1-3 years. Its the slow pressing that gives Prosciutto its unique silky texture. Some cultures do smoke them to add a distinct flavor, but its not very common.
Prosciutto the word actually does mean just a ham in Italy with a cotto being added for cooked and crudo raw

I found a few recipes online that sound about right.
If you make it keep us informed, I have a buddy that made it with pork. I'd love to hear how a deer ham comes out.

Good luck
