of sugar, I oz. sriltpett-r, j ns. of potash.
In this ratio the pickle to be increased
'o nny cpuantity dered. Let these be
foiled together until all 'he dirt from
o sugnr rises to the top and is skiru-
ued off. Then throw it into a tub to
conl. and when cold, pour it over your
beef or pork, to remain the usual time,
say fo'ir or Ovo weeks. The meat must
be well coveted with pickle, and should
not be put down for at least two days
after- idling, during which time it
should be slightly spriukled with pow
dered saltpeter, which removes all the
surface blood, etc., leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling the
picklo aud find it to answer well, though
Vhe operation of boiling purifies the
pioklc by throwing on the dirt always to
he found in talt and sugar. If this re
aipe is properlf tried, it will never be
abandoned. There is none that surpass
it, if any so good.
