Renewing Pork Brine
Ingredients
Directions
Remove the pork from the brine and wash each piece in clean water.
Boil the brine for 30 minutes, skimming off any scum and impurities.
Thoroughly clean the barrel with hot water and hard wood ashes.
Sprinkle the pork with a little fresh salt and return it to the barrel.
Once the brine has cooled, pour it back into the barrel over the pork.
