Cooked Ham ok, a little dry. Any suggestions? Charcuterie

Here it is. Flavor and color are good, but it could be juicier. Maybe a fatter piece would do better?

Ingredients

(Weight of meat and water determines pink salt quantity)

  • 2 kg pork leg - boneless, skinless, trimmed (46%)
  • 2 kg water (46%)
  • 162 g salt (3.6%)
  • 92 g honey (2.1%)
  • 85 g curing salt (2%)
  • spices*

My spice mix

  • Mustard seeds
  • White peppercorns
  • Cloves
  • Bay Leaves
  • Coriander seeds

Instructions

  • Place the pork in a bowl. Cover with water.
  • Add the salt, curing salt, honey, and spices. Cover and place in the refrigerator for days (1 day per 500g of ham) to brine.
  • Remove the brine and rinse off.
  • Place the pork in a big saucepan filled with water and bring to a boil over a medium heat. Let simmer for about 25 minutes per 500g or until the interior reaches 68C.
