Ingredients

  • six pounds of common salt
  • four ounces of saltpetre
  • eight ounces of treacle
  • two ounces of salprunella
  • five successive mornings
  • salt
  • thyme
  • allspice

Directions

1

To six pounds of common salt, add four ounces of saltpetre, eight ounces of treacle, two ounces of salprunella, winter savory, bay-leaves, thyme, marjoram, and a good table-spoonful of allspice, bruise all these things well together, and thoroughly rub them over and into the hams, _with very clean hands_. The rubbing-in must be repeated four or five successive mornings, and the hams must remain in this pickle for ten days longer.
