This recipe was extracted from The household cook book (1902) by Smiley, James B[ethuel],, page 111. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

SOUSE — Clean the ears, feet and gristly part (not the fat) of the pig's head; let them soak 12 hours in brine, then take out, scrape clean, and soak again in fresh brine. Then wash, put them in cold water, and boil gently until the bones loosen from the meat. Then put the meat in jars (not earthenware, or the vinegar will act on it) and cover with boiling hot spiced vinegar

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
