Ingredients:
1 Kg Brine
1 Kg Pork

781g potable water
83g salt (9%) (At 6 days approx 4%) 10.7 % Salt brine concentration
12g cure# 1 (353 mg/Kg at equilibrium (At 6 days approx 150 mg/Kg))

Method:
Bring to the boil the water, add all the ingredients and boil for a few minutes. Allow to get cold then put in the fridge to get to 3°C, submerge the meat in the brine and put something on top, a clean plate for instance, to keep it submerged. Allow to cure for 6 days per Kg of meat weight. Take out and rinse in cold potable water. If possible allow some time for the salt etc to equalise in the meat, then cook as required.
