Notes

This pocket-sized instructional manual offers practical guidance on curing meats and making sausage, written by a longtime sausage maker who later became a manufacturer of meat-processing additives. It provides directions for curing hams, shoulders, bacon, corned beef, and related products, as well as for producing a wide range of sausages, with frequent reference to the use of B. Heller–manufactured additives.
