Lay the sides of bacon on a board and rub lightly with
fine salt. Let stand for 48 hours.

Mix the next three ingredients thoroughly and dissolve
in the water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.
Skim and let cool. Place bacon in a clean oak barrel
and pour the liquid over the meat. Place a heavy
weight on bacon to keep it under the brine. Bacon
prepared like this will keep about one year. Have
sections of bacon smoked at smoke house as needed.
