To Corn Beef
Ingredients
Directions
Wash the beef well after soaking it in cold water.
Drain and examine the beef, removing all kernels.
Rub the beef generously with coarse sea salt.
In cold weather, warm the salt before use to help it penetrate the meat.
In summer, only corn fresh-killed beef, and use it within two days.
Wash and dry the beef, then rub in more salt.
Cover the beef and store it in a cold, dry cellar.
