Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 x Beef **
1 x Water
1 1/2 lb Salt, kosher
1/2 lb Brown sugar
1/2 oz Salt peter

** fresh-killed 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 2 inches above the meat. Let
stand for 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 brine. Store in a cool cellar.
