Morel Sauce and Benton Ham

Visiting friends in Tn usually results in a stop at Benton Hams which is understandable since this is some of the best cured pork on the planet - it is well know even in fine restaurants in other countries where Chefs have it shipped and use it regularly.

This trip we found time to head to the farm and look for Morels, hoping to find a great harvest but disappointed to only find a handful. With our meager Morel harvest we were only able to make this Red Wind / Morel sauce to accompany our ham dinner.

It was still a special treat as these Morels as everyone knows are very hard to come by.
