In the previous episode, we started a conversation about pork on the farm and promised a pork curing episode. This week we preserve the pork you saw in the previous episode with our friend Brian James Egen. Who doesn't love bacon? After watching, you will have an understanding of the period technique for preserving pork and in particular a slab of bacon. Join us at Firestone Farm in Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford to learn more about farm life in the 19th century!
Disclaimer: This episode presents historic food preservation techniques for educational purposes. If you choose to attempt any historic food preservation or preparation techniques use caution and keep in mind modern food safety rules.
Our 19th century cure recipe is:
3 parts kosher salt - NOT iodized salt
2 parts brown sugar
black pepper and other spice to your taste
