New England Ham
Take 100 lbs. of lean pork and cut into small pieces about 1 inch thick, mix this well with 3 lbs. of fine salt, 3 ounces of saltpetre, 1 lb. of granulated sugar and 1 lb. of “P” Savaline ([p. 36]) or Shorthorn Preserver ([p. 8]). Then pack meat into a barrel or tub, press down solid and leave same stand in ice house from 5 to 7 days. Stuff meat into beef bungs and smoke slowly until sausage gets a nice light color. Boil from 2 to 3 hours in water from 170 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit and then press them flat until sausage is cold.
