Another Way Recipe

Cut your pork into small pieces, of the size you would boil at one time;

rub all the pieces very well with salt, and lay them on a dresser upon

boards made to slope that the brine may run off. After remaining three

or four days, wipe them with a dry cloth; have ready a quantity of salt

mixed with a small portion of saltpetre: rub each piece well with this

mixture, after which cover them all over with salt. Put them into an

earthen jar, or large pan, placing the pieces as close together as

possible, closing the top of the jar or pan, so as to prevent all

external air from getting in; put the shoulder pieces in a pan by

themselves. Pork prepared in this manner will keep good a year.
