    List of Ingredients





    Home Cured Corned Beef

    4 lb Beef roast
    4 Tbsp. Curing salt
    6 x Garlic cloves, peeled
    3 x Bay leaves
    1/8 tsp Whole cloves (3)
    2 Tbsp. Whole coriander seeds
    2 Tbsp. Whole peppercorns
    3 tsp Whole mustard seeds
    1/4 cup Brown sugar

    Combine garlic, bay leaves, cloves, coriander seeds, peppercorns, and
    mustard seed in blender or food processor]. Blend until coarsely
    chopped. Add brown sugar. Set aside.

    Trim roast (venison, beef, etc.), weigh and measure ONE LEVEL
    TABLESPOON of curing salt PER POUND OF MEAT. (Note: I use Morton's
    TenderQuick (tm).)

    Add measured curing salt to spice mixture you set aside. Rub spice
    mixture into roast, pressing in well.

    Measure roast at thickest point. Place into heavy freezing bag and
    close securely. Place in shallow pan in refrigerator. Cure 5 days per
    inch of measured thickness, turning bag daily.

    At end of curing time wrap and freeze or cook in your favorite corned beef recipe.

    To cook: Drain juices, if desired rinse thoroughly under cold running
    water to remove extra salt and spice pieces, wrap in foil and bake
    sealed at 300 degrees 2 to 3 hours or until tender. Or use in any
    corned beef recipe.*

    Note: I have used this recipe with excellent results on both beef and
    venison roasts. My favorite is beef bottom round roast well
    trimmed. The meat is a nice red in appearance when cooked, much
    like the recipes calling for saltpeter preserving.
    I have smoked the corned beef having great results using red alder, and
    a few times using fruit wood such as apple.
