15 Days Ham

HAM (15 DAYS)
 1 kilo pork (thigh or pigi)
 1 cup salt
 1 tsp salitre
 1/2 cup gin
 1 cup white sugar
Mix salt, salitre, sugar, and gin altogether. Prick pork all over with ice pick or fork
and soak in mixture. Soak for 15 days. Kepp in refrigerator, covered with cheese
cloth or foil.
Each day, prick and turn meat in its solution.
On the 15th day, wash thoroughly, add a can of pineapple juice (medium-sized
can) and boil until meat is tender.
Remove the skin. Sprinkle brown sugar and bake in a preheated oven (350 F) for
10 minutes or until brown.
Instead of baking in oven, you may press a heated kitchen turner (siyanse) on
the meat, repeating several times until meat browns.
