Directions

To three gallons of pickle, strong enough to float an egg, add ¼ pound of alum, 1 quart of treacle, 1 oz of potash, mix them well together; pack the beef or pork, and pour the pickle on it; cover it close; in about three weeks it will be fir for use. The meat must not be salted, but packed as it comes from the butcher, and the pickle poured over it. Origin: The Canadian Settler's Guide, written in 1855 Shared by: Sharon Stevens.
