To Boil Pickled Pork
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- Pork
- water
Instructions
- Should the pork be very salt, let it remain in water about 2 hours before it is dressed;
- put it into a saucepan with sufficient cold water to cover it, let it gradually come to a boil, then gently simmer until quite tender.
- Allow ample time for it to cook, as nothing is more disagreeable than underdone pork, and when boiled fast, the meat becomes hard.
- This is sometimes served with boiled poultry and roast veal, instead of bacon: when tender, and not over salt, it will be found equally good.
