Picking Beef and Hams

The standard recipe, one which has al
ways given satisfaction and the very
incest and sweetest OF hams, shoulders,
etc, is as follows: Pack the meat into
a barrel; then boil together six gallons
of water, nine pounds of salt, six pounds
of light brown sugar and one quart of
good molasses. Remove the scum as
fast as it rises; take the boiler off the
stove and let the pickle get cold. Dis
solve six ounces of salt-petre and add to
the brine. Pour this over the meat until
the meat is covered, put on the meat a
clean hardwood board, and on this put
weight sufficient to keep the board
under the pickle If mold should form,
pour the brine off, holland skim we'll for
few minutes, let get cold and again
pour over the meat Always keep the
meat weighted down under the brine, as
small piece sticking up out of the brine
is enough to spoil the whole mess.
