Usage:

After the meat is drained, make a Tender-Quick pumping pickle for pumping the large pieces. To make the pickle, use water that has previously been boiled and cooled, and mix Tender-Quick with the water, stirring until it dissolves. For curing meat that is to be kept for varying lengths of time the following ratio of water and Tender-Quick should be used: 2 1/2 lbs. of Tender-Quick to 3 quarts of water for meat that is to be carried over the summer or for meat that is to be kept 8 months to a year before being used. 2 1/2 lbs. of Tender-Quick per gallon of water for meat that is to be kept for only 3 to 6 months. 2 lbs. of Tender-Quick per gallon of water for meat that is to be used within 30 to 60 days. The Amount of Tender-Quick pumping pickle to use is 1 to 1 1/2 oz. of pickle per pound of meat.
