I have 6 joints all around 4 - 5 kilos and have bought the above cure mixes from here. I thought I'd recieve instructions with the mixes but there are just some sketchy details on the front of the packet, not the 'full instructions' as promised. The meat is sitting on the table waiting to go in but I can't make any sense out of how much cure to use and how long to leave it in the brine etc. Can someone help? I'm pretty disappointed to be honest.
They weren't really instructions. I was told to use 125g of mix for every litre of water and that joints up to 5kg need 7 - 10 days and over that weight they need 2 -3 weeks.
