Curing Hams and Bacon,

They are various ways of curing ba-
con. The Yorkshire England method
is TO burn off the bristles, rather than to
scald them, then brush the carcass and
wash it In cold water, and let it hang
where it will not freeze for twenty-four
hours. One-quarter Of a pound Of salt
peter and twenty-five pounds of common
saltgare then rubbed thoroughly into the
pieces OF the animal, which should be
placed in large tub and covered up
closely in a cool place for fortnight.
Then turn over each piece and rub in a
little more salt. Let it remain in the
pickle another fortnight, and the bacon
is ready to be smoked. The best way TO
smoke it is with corn on the cobs burned
upon charcoal; keeping up slow, dense
smoke, and not fire. Then put II in a
cloth and. wash it over with whitewash,
to preserve it from mold or fy-bows, and
place it where there is no moisture, and
it will keep for years.
The Westphalian hams and bacon are
cured by the following recipe: To six
pounds of rock salt add three ounces of
saltpeterl and two pounds OF coffee 9
sugar. Put lit into three gallons OF wa.
ter, and boil until dissolved, skimming
it well while it boils; and when cold
pour it over the meat, keeping every
part OF it under the brine.
Bacon can be picked ready to smoke
in about ten days; but hams should re-
main in for four OF five weeks. This
pickle can be used again and again, il it
Is boiled up, skinned, and a small por-
tion Of its Ingredients added each time.
Before putting the meat into the brine it
should be carefully washed and wiped
clean from blood, as that spoils the
pickle.
