You can't get the ingredients these days, terrorists can use it to make bombs.
I got some ready mixed bacon curing salt sent up from England. If you want to just use ordinary curing salt you can, only the colour is affected.
Get a plastic dustbin, cut a round piece of wood to fit inside the top. Take hams and bacon and rub dry salt into them especially into any cracks and up between the meat and the bone, put them into dustbin. Heat a gallon or so of water and dissolve salt until an egg will float in it, leave to cool then pour over hams till they are covered. Put round piece of wood on top of hams then a big lump of stone (don't use anything metal) on wood.
Wait several weeks.
