Westphalia Ham To Cure No 1 Recipe
Cut a leg of pork to the shape of a Westphalia ham; salt it, and set it
on the fire in a skillet till dry, and put to it two ounces of saltpetre
finely beaten. The salt must be put on as hot as possible. Let it remain
a week in the salt, and then hang it up in the chimney for three weeks
or a month. Two ounces of saltpetre will be sufficient for the quantity
of salt required for one ham.
