Is it possible to preserve meat without any refrigeration or canning? YES! We've had some success and failures along the way but mostly we have done a great job and saving harvested meat for our family.
The videos listed below will show you how we have succeeded in curing our own homestead hard salami made with both venison and lamb. YOU CAN TOO! It's a pretty simple process and its as old as time itself.

Thanks for cutting it open so we could see the finished product...it does look good from the outside though.

Glad to see the honesty here. So many people don't discuss the failures so I'm very grateful for those of you who do! Would love to see some videos of you using these to prepare meals.

my grams used to soak the meat with sliced potatoes to pull out the salt..then she would fry the potatoes and let us eat them like chips. yum!!!

10* If you have an air-dry smoke/meat shed (like Geo. Washington and his smoking meat room at Mt Vernon - been there, saw it), then no flies or other bugs/molds/mildews/fungus get to the meat. If you also dip the meats in yogurt and allow the probiotics to cover the meat skin (like Gallo and Italian milk-covered mold salami) can also protect the meat. All good items. Once cured and dry, then they can be hung in the kitchen like a European meat store, and like garlic/herb braids, all can be kept clean, dry, and ready at hand. I can send you a download copy of my Prepper University 1500+ books on all subjects homesteading, survival, and SHTF, ... Many items about food preservation and meat processing/curing. Over 500+ MB of all topics for bringing back a community to blacksmithing and 1920s technology from a total Stone Age disaster. PM for details. Your external hard drive and same/next day turn around. Many people have received and are wowed.

Death by Meat Stick... LOL Have you ever done Biltong preservation of meat? I've heard its to be tastier than jerky but similar to your salami its just a hang up to cure product. I'm thinking I'm going to get some good local beef and try a batch but was curious if you all had tried that. I don't recall seeing anything mentioned the other year when you put this up.

Zach, quick question, when you soak the blackstrap, do you leave the cut in the soup or do you discard the chucks of meat?

@bastintripletroubleboys2101 Жыл бұрын

It's fine to use the meat, some people would call it "corned" meat, beef being the most common. I you want to eat it I would recommend boiling it in a generous amount of water for about 2 hours and change the water at least once, twice is better if you dont like salty foods. This was a common meal for the really poor when i was growing up, I still cook it now in my 50's just like my mum did for me, Just let it drain well after cooking or you will have water everywhere when you cut it, even squeezing it if you feel like it

I love this video but I've got to say I don't think I could eat any of those. I love cured meats and we make venison jerky all the time but these look scary and I don't think I could ever be confident enough that it's safe. Sometimes I worry about our jerky even. It's really just the appearance honestly and I know you were using old ways to cure these. Maybe it's just that commercial cured meats look so different now and that's my standard of reference? Any how, good for you, I just don't know if I could do it lol.

There's nothing in the torah forbidding eating multiple meats at the same time or even meat and dairy. That comes out the Talmud and the Talmud is man made. YHWH said dont boil a kid in his mothers milk. That doesn't mean you can't have goat milk and beef or cow milk and beef. As long as the kid is from a different mother than the milk Torah is with you.
