Food Preparation "Wall Dried Meat"

How to preserve meat - the Scandinavian delicacy called "Wall Dried Meat".
Haparanda 07/March 2010.

I thought it would be nice to share a old traditional way to preserve meat, it seems that very few people in southern Sweden knows this method.
(none in my age except my cousins )
But we seldom have the right type of weather in Stockholm.

nice video Mika,

so you say you have to hydrate it before eating..seeing you and your mother eating it right away..was that just to taste? did you put the rest in water? how long? could you put less salt on it to cure, so you can always eat it without hydrating?

@watertothepeople You can eat the meat as it is, let's say like a snack or on a sandwich. If you decide to use the meat in stews or soups it is recommended to hydrate it. Otherwise you will get too much salt in your meal.

Kind regards, Mika

It looks wonderful!

I was wondering, do you need to cook the meat at all? The fat on the cuts of meat your mother used were still white, so my guess was no, but I simply wanted to make sure.

Thank you for your time, and for all of the helpful videos!

@Raptorman117 Your guessed right, you can eat the dried meat as it is. Just remember to hydrate thou, the meat contains much salt.

Thanks for your support!

Kind regards, Mika

What are ideal overnight/daytime temps for this recipe? We have had some extreme swings here in northern Minnesota., meaning -30f to +35-40f in a matter of just a few days.

Way to pass it on!!

@nevisfire You should be alright if the temperature stays bellow 30 F degrees that equals to subzero in Celsius degrees.

Thanks for taking the time to watch!

Cheers!

Great video and a great way to cure meat. I live in Northern Saskatchewan Canada which is perfect for this ......very cold and really dry.

Really cool! My grandparents talked of doing this when they were younger and living in Oklahoma where the winters were similar to your descriptions. Great post, loved seeing your mom interact with you. Be well man!

Have you preserved fish or Caribou or other meats, in this same way ?

... Looks like a Mora Knife, your Mother is wielding.
