To keep Venison or Hares sweet; or to make them fresh, when they stink

If your Venison be very sweet, only dry it with a Cloth, and hang it where the Air comes. If you would keep it any Time, dry it very well with clean Cloths, rub it all over with beaten Ginger, and hang it in an airy Place, and it will keep a great while. If it stinks, or is musty, take some luke-warm Water, and wash it clean; then take fresh Milk and Water luke-warm, and wash it again; then dry it in clean Cloths very well, and rub it all over with beaten Ginger, and hang it in an airy Place. When you roast it, you need only wipe it with a clean Cloth and paper it, as before-mention’d. Never do any Thing else to Venison, for all other Things spoil your Venison, and take away the fine Flavour, and this preserves it better than any Thing you can do. A Hare you may manage just the same Way.
