Winter pork harvesting

  1. Good meat with a layer of fat is suitable for harvesting pork for the winter. Rinse the pork in cold salt water, then, depending on the size of the jar, cut into pieces.
  2. Two procurement methods can be used here. So in jars you can put a large piece of meat, and on top smaller pieces. Or cut the pork into small pieces, for example, 3x3 cm in size. You do not need to salt and pepper the meat, as we will prepare the brine.
  3. To prepare the brine, you will need a liter of cold water and 15 g of salt. The salt in the water should completely dissolve and only then fill the meat. Instead of saline, broth made from cartilage and bones can be used. In cooled banks, the broth will turn into jelly, which will make the meat juicy and allow it to preserve all the useful vitamins and nutrients.
  4. Filled cans tightly twist and put in a pot of water. The temperature of heating the water should not exceed 100 ° C, and the preparation of the stew will depend on the volume and material of the cans, from 2.5 to 4 hours.
