How I Keep Meat Fresh for Months Without a Freezer 🥩
Preserving meat at home isn’t just about tossing it in the freezer. I’ve started using a vacuum sealer to keep air out and prevent freezer burn, and it really makes a difference. For ground beef, I’ll portion it out, wrap it in freezer paper, and then seal it up tight. When I’m prepping chicken, I remove as many bones as possible before freezing to save space. Labeling is key—I always write the type of meat and the date. For jerky, I slice beef thin, boil it briefly, then dry it in the oven overnight. It turns out leathery and stores well in airtight jars. I’ve also tried canning chunks of pork in Mason jars using a pressure canner, which is a game changer for shelf life. Each method takes a little practice, but it’s worth it for long-term storage.
