Method of Sugar Curing Hams and
Bacon.

The following method has been
tested and found to be thoroughly
satisfactory.
When the meat is cold cover each
piece with salt and allow to drain
over night. Then pack in barrel
with the hams and shoulders in the
bottom, using the sides Of bacon to
fill in between or put on top. For
each 100 pounds of meat weigh out
Is pounds of salt, pounds Of brown
sugar and ounces of saltpctcr Dis
solve all in 4 gallons Of water and
cover the meat with the brine. For
summer use it will be best to boil the
brine before using. In that case let
the brine cool before using. 1t is not
necessary to boil it for winter use.
Hams should remain in this brine
6 to 8 weeks, bacon strips, 4 to 6
weeks. Meat cured in this way in the
spring and then smoked will keep
right through the summer.
