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.
