Especially venison... since it is so lean.<br /><br />14lbs of elk pastrami?... I'd be in heaven. lol<br /><br />Thank you for the kind cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-74773933947096306102010-03-12T05:50:45.611-06:002010-03-12T05:50:45.611-06:00Cowgirl-

I'm impressed by your content, and the photos are great!<br />My first batch was somewhat dry, and salty. Based on some hints from you and others, I did 3 things that I think helped a lot. After curing 14 pounds of elk for 10 days in a solution (not dry cured like yours) I drained the cure Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-67465248423650869482008-09-18T11:27:00.000-05:002008-09-18T11:27:00.000-05:00Thanks Mike!The recipe works great on beef too.

I place the pig in a large plastic lined barrel and fill with ice and cold water.<BR/>Any large container will do. <BR/>It's not always possible to butcher and chill overnight. Chill for several hours if you have the time.<BR/>Good luck to you!cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516076315691432589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1516940939413771830.post-47086714118834706912008-09-18T08:37:00.000-05:002008-09-18T08:37:00.000-05:00Kevin, thank you!
