Curing wild game turns large cuts of meat into tender, deeply flavorful meals you can rely on for months. This time-tested corned bear recipe draws out rich savory notes while locking in moisture through a careful, slow cold brine. With simple curing staples and steady temperature control, you transform lean game into succulent slices ready for boiling and serving with garden root vegetables or thick homestead bread.

These Preserved Lemons will keep up to a year in the refrigerator. The brine can be reused two or three times over the year, simply add more lemons.

If you want a softer peel, soak the lemons in lukewarm water for 3 days, changing the water daily.
