Venison jerky

[BushTucker]

Hi all

Just about to make my first ever batch of venison jerky.
I thought of trying hoodoo`s tutorial for it, but if any one has any last min tips for me, I will be happy to recieve them.

Never tried venison jerky, you'll have to do a taste test and pass on your findings!

[BushTucker]

Yeah will do spamel

Its bleedin lovely! A nice lean meat. Don't over season is my tip, but stick with spice over sweet (worcester sauce and soy over sweet chilli if you see what I mean)

Truly nice stuff!

Blimey - I'd have bought a 55 gallon drum and dived in :)

LOL, belive me BR when you have been around the smell of it for a while the novalty wears off, had a simular thing when i lived down the road from the main hp sauce factory in birmingham, i like it now but not then.

Mmmm. Venison jerky with Worcestershire sauce. Sounds tasty.

[BushTucker]

Well, its done in the end I did half kilo of venison and beef, bloody lovely, I did cheat a bit I used a good slosh of american bbq smoked sauce from my local Lydl with garlic and pepper.
Tell you what, I will be making more soon, yum...

Good innit? Much nicer than shop bought :)

Going to trade my dehydrator in soon for a cow sized one ;)

I think I might make one rather then buy one. What is the best way to store jerky at home and ready to take on a trip?

[British Red]

Either vacuum packed or in a cloth bag. Condensation is what makes it mouldy. Not having got the fat out leads to rancidity. So, a zip lock is fine if its very dry and completely cool (fridge cool).

Thanks Red, cloth bag, any particular material?would a waterproof pouch with a cotton lining do?
