Best Answer

The way food was kept in 'Colonial Boston' was fresh, salted, smoked or dried.

They kept the animal's alive until needed, they collected the egg's fresh each day as well the milk. They caught there fish each day, extra fish would be salted (this would dry the fish which would keep bacteria from growing) to last longer and for travel. They salted meat as well. They also smoked meat and fish. They stored grain and ground it into flour when needed.
