Jerky! Jerky! Jerky!

I had decided to make some Venison Jerky and use ground venison that I mixed with Eastman Outdoors Whiskey Pepper.

For some reason that one caught my eye. ;D

I used 3lbs of venison and mixed the cure for 3lbs and seasoning for 5lbs water and 3ozs of my favorite whiskey.
(It said to do that on the directions, I promise!)

Then let it set over nite in the fridge.

Made 2 racks of the flat stuff.

3 racks of the round stuff.

And a rack of this.

Well alright CRG!!

Congrats on your first trip to Jerkyland. Can't wait to see how this turns out as I have 3 pounds of ground venison waiting for me to "jerkyize" it. Hopefully this weekend.

Jan wants me to cold smoke about 15 pounds of cheese this weekend too.

Let's see your jerky CRG!

I used pecan and smoke for 1hr 20min on 160 and then put in the dehydrator.

I don't know how it will taste, it smells damn good.

I understand I am to watch for when it still bends.

Lookin gooood CRG

When you bend it you want to just start to see the meat show some cracks then pull out the racks and sit them on something so air can get around them. They will firm up as they cool.

Cant wait to see the finished jerky especially the rack of CRG!

Looks great CRG, can,t wait to see the finished stuff. Thats the same cure kit I used on my last batch if jerky.I just spiced it up a little. I made 5lbs of it a week or so ago and its all gone. Time to make more, my wife and kids ate it all. It was some of the best I,ve made in a while. Next time I,ll try it with ground instead of sliced to see the differance. By the way in think you opened a new can of worms with the art work, I can only imagine whats going to come next. ;D
