VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS SPICED BEEF



Victorian Christmas Spiced Beef image

This is a great Victorian Christmas season dish. The perfect center piece for a cold supper. A round joint of silverside or topside is the best for this kind of dish. The Saltpeter or Quick Cure is a necessary preservative when curing meat and also adds a pleasing red color otherwise the beef will turn out a murky grey.
