Salted meat


This method is used with great success in the South Island in areas that are only visited twice a year. The meat keeps well and seems not to become flyblown as happens with some products. Rock salt can be bought from Farm Suppliers. Venison meat or rabbits works well.
Layer salt in bottom of container.
Cover with one layer of meat, small peices, cover with a good layer of salt, add another layer of meat, then salt until the container is full. Cover and leave for some weeks. Place in trap boxes or suspend from the lid on fine wire.
Let me know if it works or you.
