The FDA accepted rate for cure #1 is 1 tsp. per 5#'s of stuff... 15#'s of loin + ~10#'s of brine/cure.. = 25#'s of stuff..
Sooo, you should have 5 tsp. of cure #1 mixed in... 1 TBS. = 3 tsp. ....

I'm a little confused here. Wth Pop's brine recipe, I did not see where to adjust the amount of cure base on the weight of stuff. I see 1 T of cure for 1 gal water. What am I missing?
