To Cure Sweet Hams In The Westmoreland Way ========================================== Ingredients ----------- 3 lbs. of common salt, 3 lbs. of coarse sugar, 1 lb. of bay-salt, 3 quarts of strong beer. Method ------ Before the hams are put into pickle, rub them the preceding day well with salt, and drain the brine well from them. Put the above ingredients into a saucepan, and boil for 1/4 hour; pour over the hams, and let them remain a month in the pickle. Rub and turn them every day, but do not take them out of the pickling-pan; and have them smoked for a month. Source: Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management (1861) Ingredify — https://ingredify.com
