Method
Combine all ingredients, except ice and pork, in a large non-reactive saucepan. Set over a high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and maintain at a simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the ice and stir.
Place the pork in a 4-litre zip-lock bag and add the cooled pickling liquid. Remove as much air as possible. Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 days, turning the bag occasionally.
Use within 2 weeks or remove the pork from the brine and freeze.
