I'm from New Zealand originally, where you can buy a corned silverside at every supermarket and butchery in the country. I was pleased to stumble onto this site, and have tried making my own a few times now.
I started with the Irish Corned Beef cure that is available on this site. I have since made my own using the following
50gm Salt
30gm Sugar
20gm Cure #1 (purchased from this site)
I've boiled this in 1 litre of water, allowed it to cool, taken 1kg of brisket and vacuum sealed for 10 days. I found this recipe somewhere in the forum here.
Is this safe, or am i poisoning myself?
thanks for any guidance anyone can offer.
