Preserving with brine

Corning is the process of preserving meat by treating it with coarse salt granules, called corns.

This is how corned beef gets its name—the beef is cured in brine with peppercorns and salt corns: She spent the afternoon corning the brisket for St. Patrick's Day. (Capitalized Corning is the glassware company or city.)
