BACON, YORKSHIRE.
Yorkshire Bacon is first-rate, equal to
that of Wiltshire, Cumberland, &c.
The peculiarity of fla vour depends upon
curing, which is conducted in the fol-
lowing manner : — After killing, the pig
must hang for twenty-four hours, be-
fore being cut up. Take saltpetre, six
ounces to the cwt., and rub it well in ;
and xo lbs. of common salt to the cwt ;
well rub it in, and place in the salting-
tub. After having been in salt twelve
or fourteen days, it must be turned over,
a few pounds of fresh salt applied, and
left for ten days longer. Then take
out, wipe well, and bang up in a cool,
dry place in a linen or cotton bag, or
wash over with lime and water, to pre-
vent rancidity, and the attack of the
bacon-fly. Hams especially should be
preserved in this way. ✪ Yorkshire Bacon
