1/2 C soy sauce
2 C water
1 tsp ground ginger
6 Tbs brown sugar
2 cloves minced garlic
.40 oz pink cure
Is the original:
Halve everything for 5. It's SLIGHTLY cure heavy, as this works out to about 6 grams/5 Lbs, and I have measured the Pink Cure #1 at just over 4g per teaspoon...the 5 Lb amount. But an extra gram isn't a huge issue here.In God I trust- All others pay cash...Check out the Mad Hunky and products at https://madhunkymeats.com or https://www.facebook.com/MadHunkyMeats

Here's a spreadsheet that will let you convert to other amounts of meat. I can't imagine you'd want to do less than 5 pounds but if you wanted to do an odd amount like 7 pounds or something or if your trimmed amount doesn't come out to a multiple of 5 it may be useful.
It requires Microsoft Excel or I imaging Open Office (www.openoffice.org) will work as well.
The worksheet is locked (no password though) to guard against accidentlally messing up the formula. Just enter the amount of meat in pounds in Cell D12 (you shouldn't be able to select any other cell) and press Enter. I converted cups to ounces and teaspoons to tablespoons to try and make it more useful.
If someone wants to take a look and double check my math, it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Added grams to ounces conversion for cure. If the original weight of the cure needs to be adjusted, someone please let me know. Don't want to extrapolate any errors out for larger amounts of meat.Last edited by DDave; 01-30-2011, 11:53 AM.CUHS Metal Shop Reverse Flow

I thought about doing that but it's such a simple recipe. Nice to have! Might be nice in grams.Mark
