Preserved Meat

Ingredients

• 4 lbs coarse sea salt
• ½ lb saltpetre
• 6 pints water

Directions

1. Combine the salt, saltpetre, and water in a large container to create a brine.

2. Use this brine to preserve lean strips of meat, ensuring they are thoroughly soaked to prevent decomposition.

3. When preparing the meat for serving, use fat or lard and flavor with vegetables, herbs, and good gravy.
