10 pounds of beef brisket
2 cups salt
2 cups molasses
2 Tbsp saltpeter
1 Tbsp ground pepper
1 Tbsp cloves
Bourbon or whiskey
Prep Time: 10 days
Rinse the beef well before coating the remaining ingredients. Add the
bourbon or whiskey at the end to rub the meat down. This will keep mold
growth down and help the meat’s flavor as well. Turn every 24 hours, and
add more salt when the amount used has dissolved.
After 10 days, rinse well and use in soups or stews or slow cook on the grill.
Drink the rest of the bourbon while you wait during the 10 days.
