The ham should not contain sugar, maple syrup, dextrose, or other illegal

ingredients. It

can be smoked by hanging in a smokehouse but should not contained " smoke " as an

ingredient.

Some people are able to get a local smokehouse to prepare an SCD ham. Using

some

good cuts of pork such as roasts, spareribs, cutlets and pork chops and minced

pork is a

good option.

You'll be looking for legal ingredients , similar to bacon minus

the sugar, maple syrup etc... If honey is an ingredient make sure

it is pure honey. If unable to find a legal one you may be able to

talk to a local butcher to have one prepared with legal ingredients.

Freezing in freezer safe bags is an option. For longer storage you

could try canning them using a good canning recipe.

From the BTVC website under " yogurt faq " :

" It can last up to three weeks in the fridge, but the bacteria will

remain active in it for two weeks at most. "
