Westphalia Ham To Cure No 5 Recipe

One pound of common salt, one pound of bay salt, four ounces of

saltpetre, two ounces of black pepper; pound them separately, then mix

them, and rub the ham very well until the whole is used. Rub one pound

of treacle on them; lay them in the pickle one month, turning them every

day. The quantity here specified will do for two hams. Before you hang

them up, steep them in a pail of water for twelve hours.
