I love corned beef! Here in New England all types of beef roast were corned. Historically some say beef corned in the summer will sour but with refrigeration that is now not true.
In the Nor'east, Gray, corned beef was the normal kind. My FIL bought his at certain meat dealers in the Boston market made the traditional way. This was 20 years before the new Faneuil Hall market that put the street and small shop vendors out of business.
South of New England the red corned beef ruled as they added Sodium nitrates to help preserve the meat making the meat red when corned.
Today I took an on sale roast of 6 pounds and started to corn it in brine in my fridge. Anyone else tried corning their own?? Please discuss with your methods.
