Rub ea ch piece of the meat with a mixture of Salt and Pepper and pack down in layers, covering ea ch with a layer of Salt. The top layer should be of Salt. Let stand overnight. In the morning pour on the brine made by mixing all of the ingredi- ents together, using 1 recipe for ea ch 25 lb s of meat. (Dissolve the ingredients in the 2 gallons of Water stirring until the Salt is dissolved. Test with an Egg; if it floats, fine, if not, add more Salt.) Pour over the packed Salted meat and if necessary pour on more Water to cover the meat. Invert a dish over it and put a heavy weight on it, to be sure that the meat will not float. It may be used in 2-3 weeks. For 100 lb s of meat double all of the ingredients. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
