Jerky suggestions

[scadamso]

Over the winter and much of this summer, I have been experamenting with Jerky recipes. I have tried several different flavours and several different amounts of ingrediants. It took me about 15 batches of meat to figure out that I should have started off doing the jerky mild instead of what recipes ask for. Jerky is a great thing to take hiking, being light and high in protein. Every batch that I made I followed recipies very closely, and still I found all to be strong. So for those that get into makin it I suggest to ease up on salt and soya sauce. Perhaps when using other sauces to flavour, find mild ones as the flavour is more intense when the meat is dried. And finally, dont be affraid to add watter. Best of luck.

Scotty-Just try adding some brown sugar it should sweeten things up a bit.

BTW-Gimme a call before wednesday and we will see if we can set something up for you to meet me on my hunt.
