When I tell people we scald & scrape our pigs, I am often met with a look of confusion. Allowing the skin to remain intact has multiple benefits, one of which is evident on cuts that are roasted. The picture shows a ham and new potatoes that I roasted yesterday with the crispy, caramelized, and chewy skin . Not only does the skin elevate the deliciousness of the dish overall, it also protects the underlying fat layer allowing it to slowly render out during the roasting process keeping the meat tender and succulent. Overall, the result is nothing less than spectacular!
