To Corn Beef
PA Dutch Cookbook
Fresh killed beef
Water
1 ½ pounds fine salt (best quality)
½ pound brown sugar
½ ounce salt peter
Thoroughly scrub and clean a good oak barrel. Put as much good fresh-killed beef as desired to be corned in barrel and cover with cold water. Have the water two inches above the meat. Let stand 48 hours. Drain off the water and measure before discarding. Measure the same amount of cold water (spring water if possible) and to every gallon of water used, add the above proportions of salt, sugar and salt peter. Boil for 15 minutes and then skim. When cold, pour over the beef. Place a heavy weight on meat to keep it under the brine. Store in a cool cellar.
