The Shropshire Black is unique. Made exclusively by Dukeshill to a recipe created by Lord Bradenham back in 1781. Like the York this is a dry cured ham. What makes it different however and lends the uncooked ham its distinctive black rind is a fortnight wallowing in a special marinade of molasses juniper and spices. The hams are then left to mature for three months during which time they develop their robust and distinctive flavour.

Please note that the main bones are removed but the shank bone (which protrudes just a little way into the ham) is left in. If you order a half, boneless ham you will either be sent a shank end with the little bit of shank bone protruding or the more rounded cushion end with no bone at all. With both you will receive the same amount of ham - they just look slightly different!
