Hi,

I need some help. My butcher will no longer sell me their brine mix for hams and bacon not sure why but when the price went up form $1 a lb to $10 a pund I took the hint. What they used was a brown sugar mix and I loved it. So now I need to make my own. I am wondering for a simple starte what is a good mix to us? None of my local stores have cure in stock so I am going to order it online most likely from http://www.butcher-packer.com.

When I called butcher packer they are saying for me to try a premix kit http://www.butcher-packer.com/pages-pro ... e-mix.html but I am not sure about paying $10 for that mix. It does make 2.5gals. But I am not sure about it all ready having a hickoy flavor to it because I am going to smoke it on top of it.

Thanks for any help
