Here’s an old Wyoming recipe. The measures are for 100 pounds of pork, but they can be scaled down for smaller amounts. Before applying the pickle, the meat is rubbed with dry salt and packed in wooden barrels or wooden boxes.
Ingredients
Method
Put the water in a large pot and dissolve salt in it until it will float an egg. Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Let the brine cool, then pour it over the salted pork. Let stand for 10 days. Drain off the brine, bring it to a boil, let it cool, and pour it over the pork again. Cook the pork as needed.
