Hi Dick,

I'm looking at the color of the cure, would you mind sharing what you used in there?

Also, did you pump the tip roast?

I'm just very curious, because that looks interesting and as Ross said along with cabbage, potatoes etc, it is finger licking good food.

Bubba,

I did not have enough pickling spice so I added ground allspice, nutmeg, dry mustard, clove, and a piece of cinnamon. We will see if I screwed up or not. I did pump it with ten% of the roast weight.

Beautiful job Dick. Just curious about how much Cure #1 did you use? Hey, that stuff looks good enough to eat! Hey, you can cook around my campfire anytime! :lol:

Best Wishes,

That looks very delicious Dick!

Looking at the texture in the photo it must have been very tender as well.

Bubba I was rereading this post and the meat was tender but it held together very well. That probably was not apparent from the photo. Except for the very ends it could of been sliced very thin and still held up.
