PORK, PICKLED (an easy way)

When pork is to be cooked in a short time, it may be pickled in the following easy way. Take the pig as soon as it is cold, cut it into convenient-sized pieces, and rub them well with common salt. Lay them in the salting-pan, and turn and rub them every day till they are required for use. Remember always to wash the hands in cold water the last thing before touching the meat. The time required for the pork to lie in salt depends upon taste. If it is wished that it should be only moderately salted, the hand and belly may remain in the pan four days, and a leg weighing six pounds five or six days.
