Swedish Corned Pork Roast
"Please note that this recipe takes ten days of pickling time, but is well worth the effort! This is from "The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas". I made the entire "Swedish Winter Feast" for a past Christmas and it was wonderful! I'll post the other recipes next: Swedish Sauerkraut, Swedish Green Split Peas with Bacon, Mashed Rutabaga, Turnip, and Potato & Sweet and Hot Mustard, served with Rye Bread. I expected not to like anything and ended up LOVING everything!"

- 2 gallons water
- 1 pound pickling salt
- 1 teaspoon saltpeter, I made it without and it was fine (optional)
- 8 pounds boneless pork butt, tied or 8 lbs pork loin roast (I used the latter)
- 2 bay leaves
- 15 whole black peppercorns
- 5 whole allspice
What You Will Need
No special items needed.
Step 1
In a large stainless steel pot or pickling crock, mix the water, pickling salt, and saltpeter together until dissolved. Untie the pork roast and place in the pickling solution. Place a heavy plate on top of the pork so that it will remain submerged. *You could probably try this in one of those turkey bags.
Step 2
Cover and refrigerate for 10 days. Check occasionally to be sure the pork is covered by the liquid.
Step 3
After 10 days, remove the pork and retie it into a roast. Rinse well with fresh water. Place the roast in a large cooking pot, cover with cold water, and add the remaining ingredients: bay leaves, peppercorns and whole allspice.
Step 4
Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 2 hours 15 minutes.
Step 5
Slice the pork and place on large platter.
Step 6
Serve with Sweet and Hot Mustard.
