Almost every food can be safely preserved for long-term storage and greater shelf life, including all types of meat. If you’re looking to stretch your grocery budget or you’re an avid hunter trying to make the most of your catch, you’ll need to know these at-home meat preservation techniques.

A steady supply of food is basic for human survival. Born from this need is our journey into finding ways on how to safely store food. Food preservation is a large part of human history. Throughout millennia, before the advent of modern technology, humans from all across the world in different cultures have developed different ways on how they can prolong the shelf life of food, from the various pickled vegetables, brined seafood, and meat jerkies. Preserving food and curing meats is vital knowledge for early humans who were, by nature, hunter-gatherers.

While in modern times, we no longer have to rely on the food we catch or gather in the wild but knowing how to store meat can save money, time, and waste less food. Anyone who eats meat knows that it can be expensive! Learning how to safely preserve and store meat is an important skill.

My grandparents own and run a deli. In fact, pretty much my whole family is involved with the business. They intend to pass the business on to my cousin when they retire. My grandfather has been in the meat business as a butcher and deli owner for decades, learning the trade from his father and other relatives from Italy.

If you’re a camper, RVer, hiker, doomsday prepper, or just trying to feed your family, understanding meat preservation techniques will be helpful to you. My book will show you several ways to preserve and store all types of meat.
