HOME MADE DRIED BEEF— Select a nice round of beef- better from a young animal — divide it into 2 pieces, following the natural line of division very carefully, so as not to make any cuts or gashes for the fly to burrow in. Then for 50 lbs. of meat make a mixture of 2 lbs. fine salt, 1 oz. of powdered saltpetre, 1^ lbs. brown sugar
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
