Ingredients for the Brine:
1 Gallon of water
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tbsp pink curing salt
3 tbsp pickling spice
1.5-2 cups of ice

Combine the Water, Salt, Brown sugar, Curing salt, and Pickling spice in a large pot and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Add ice to speed up the process.

Once the Brine is cooled off you can add the meat and brine for 7-10 days!
