Ingredients

  • half pounds brown sugar
  • half pounds saltpetre
  • a gallon of molasses
  • three quarters bushel of salt

Directions

1

To every 1000 pounds of pork put three quarters bushel of salt, two and a half pounds brown sugar, and two and a half pounds saltpetre, half a gallon of molasses. Mix all together, and rub on well, first hams, then shoulders, and then mid- dlings. Keep in salt four weeks, then hang them up, and smoke them occasionally, for four or five weeks, with green hickory wood.
