"Making a ham from scratch is easier than can be. Just mix your brine ingredients together, add the pork picnic shoulder and let it marinate for a week. Cook it as you would cook any store-bought ham. The ham showed here was cooked in a Big Easy Infra Red Fryer until it reached and internal temp of 165 degrees."

Step 1
Bring all the ingredients except for garlic and pork to a boil and simmer until salt is dissolved.
Step 2
Allow cooling completely and pour into a clean plastic bucket.
Step 3
Place the pork roast into the bucket and place a pot lid over the roast to hold it down into the brine.
