Beef, Pickle For

This pickle is intended for dry-salting. The ingredients must be well pounded and mixed together before the meat is rubbed with it, and the beef, or hams, turned and well rubbed every day until salt enough. Two pounds of common salt, one and a half ounces of saltpetre, four ounces of brown sugar, and one tea-spoonful of black pepper, will be found to impart a good, rich flavour to the meat. Cost of ingredients, about 3d.
