Butter Ghee (clarified butter) can be kept without refrigeration for a long time. You can make your own with unsalted butter. A standard in hot, humid India. Higher smoke point than regular butter as well.
Add a few dried Bay Leaves to rice, pasta, flour, grain in sealed containers. It inhibits weevils.
Large canisters of dried onions, black peppercorns and crushed red pepper are a must. Powdered mustard, iodized salt and sugar.
Grain alcohol (ethanol) is a great antiseptic and preservative.
Get a spiral cut ham, remove the fat and dry it. Ham jerky is great at a fraction of the cost of beef jerky.
That ham jerky sounds great!!
I think we’ll have to try that...
Are you meaning dehydrate the ham, into jerky?
Will have to try that.
Do you do yours in an oven? A dehydrator?
Ham jerky. I had not heard or thought about that. Sounds really good. I might just try that.
I have used hamburger to make beef jerky which we like.
What sort of spices do you use with the ham for the jerky?
All great ideas, thank you.
