Corned Moose
3 gallons water
Enough salt to float an egg
1 cup curing salt
(Morton makes a variety of curing
salts)
3 tbsp mixed pickling spices
Bring to a boil and cool. Place washed 5 lb chunks of moose
in a stone crock. Cover meat with brine and weigh down with a
clean rock. Let stand 3 days; drain brine off and boil. Strain off the
sediment; cool and pour back over the meat. Repeat this process
every day until no reside remains in brine. Meat preserved this way
keeps without refrigeration.
