I used that instead of "pink salt" in my St. Pat's corned beef brine. For a more red effect though, I would reduce it next time.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373419551112159105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-29596781359047368132010-04-04T20:49:49.039+01:002010-04-04T20:49:49.039+01:00Happy Easter!
