Curing Roe

[Ridx]

I never milk a salmon last year I went late in the season and got a couple hens late in the season that were ful off loose eggs already. As far as the mix ratio for the brine.

Depending on the amount of eggs you want to cure I use 1 cup Borax, 1 cup sea salt or non iodized salt, 1 cup sugar and 4 cups distilled water. Its really not much different then the ones out there you can find easily on the internet but the difference is i let them sit in the sollution for 20-24 hours rather then the hour these recipes call for and i dont dry the eggs after I jsut strain and bag em. If you have alot of eggs you can add more borax to the sollution. I have lots of eggs and can spare some if anyone is in dire need of some for this steelhead season. You can also add colour to the egs if you want to by adding jello to your sollution or brown sugar depending on the colour's you want. I tend to only use natural and brown sugar.
