To Corn Small Piece of Beef
Sometimes it is difficult to get good
corned beef, or 1t is desirable to save
n piece of fresh beef in this way. Tho
easiest method is to stir coarse fine
salt into cold water until brine is
made strong enough to float an egg
and expose spot as large as a 10
cent piece. Put in the beef, lay a
plate on 1t. and stone to hold II
down. After two days, or four at
the most for five or six pounds. the
beef will be ready to use. and is often
relished better with early vegetables
than fresh meat.
