Recipe For Corn Your Own Beef

  

Have you ever wondered why store bought corned beef is so PINK? It’s the nitrates; salt peter to the pioneers. You do NOT want to know how they used to make it. I still have not figured out what possessed someone to do it in the first place. Who looks at a pile of animal waste and wonders how it might preserve their meat??

If you “corn” your own meat, you get a normal colored roast that is really tasty, without the chemicals. My family has been making this recipe since the 1980s, when my mom found this recipe in a newspaper. It takes a little planning, so I am giving it to you a week before St. Patrick’s Day…just in case you want to make it for the holiday.
