curing herring

[rln]

I know every one has their own favorite method, but here is one that may be new to a few people. Bit of an advertisment for Pautzke's also.

Talked to some Americans last summer in nootka who swear by this stuff on their anchovies. They were fully limited when they left.

I also use a little powdered milk in mine, really helps with the shine, the blue food colouring works great too!

Bear Cove...
I have used powder milk also and like the shine but had concerns about the milk going sour if used for a few days. Any issues?

Thanks

Tips Up,

Never had a problem with the powdered milk going sour. I generally do not keep the bait curing for more that a few days anyways, but I can see where that would become a problem. It really gives it a nice shine though and the blue gives it great colour.

Just reduce the recipe by Quarter , you'll find that it is very similar to the above recipe , with the added powdered milk to the mix, your choice of scent,I use Anchovy Smelley Jelly or Garlic . I tend to use a bit more of Mrs Stewarts Blue ,than this recipe requires , 2 tablespoons , to 1 liter of water , appx ,,, experiment .. I find 12 hours is usually enough , send em down ,

Cheers FD...

Like Rob I use anise as well but I add cream instead of powdered milk to the brine, after three days they are still firm.
