In the early days, salting was the primary means of preservation. The items would be dried and packed in barrels of salt. The salt would pull all the moisture out of the meat and prevent bacteria from being able to live in it. Fruits and vegetables would be dried or would be packed in straw and buried to preserve them through the winter.
