To Salt Pork

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Let the pork get thoroughly cold and hard.

  2. In a boiler, add enough water to cover the pork.

  3. Bring the water to a boil and mix in salt.

  4. To check if there is enough salt, add an egg; if it floats, the brine is ready.

  5. Pour the brine into a jar and let it cool.

  6. Once cool, pour the brine over the pork.
