Artisan Cheese and Prosciutto. This is a blog about making cheese and preserving meat at home. We will make all kinds of cheeses together including soft-ripened, cheddar, stilton, feta and a tomme. We will also cover basic charcuterie or the art of preserving meat using salt and smoke. We will make prosciutto from ham and duck breast, make our own bacon and even learn how to make sausages and cure them. I don't claim to be an expert in any of this, but please join me for the learning and fun.

How to make Duck Breast Prosciutto Part 2
Here is the second part of how to make Duck Breast Prosciutto. I take it out of the salt, rinse it off, wrap it in some muslin and hang it in the cheese age refrigerator for a week. My Duck Breast only need a week to dry out because they are so thin. If you are using thicker Duck Breast, and thicker is better, then it might take 2 or 3 weeks to fully cure. If after a week it is still a little "squishy" let it stay for another week.
