How much cure to use? Wiltshire/honey roast mix

Postby Cledry » Mon Nov 06, 2006 11:03 am

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.

Could you post the instructions you now have here, I'm sure others will find them useful.

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.
