Jerky!

Gouda, pepperjack and jerky!

*knows Boo will run away from this post*

We spent ALL weekend making venison jerky. Usually, we process the "scrap meat" into hamburger, breakfast sausage, jerky and summer sausage. Well, this year we still have a ton of burger and summer sausage left, and aren't that thrilled about our recipe for breakfast sausage, so EVERYONE decided they wanted jerky. We grind the meat, add seasonings, roll it into sheets and put in the smoker. We did 75% of it in the smoker and are finishing the rest out on the dehydrator at home today. It's a really long process and we had about 60 lbs of meat to do. Ugh.

So today I share with you some REALLY good jerky in the following flavors:
1) Smoked Inferno
2) Smoked Pepper & Garlic
3) Smoked Sweet & Hot
4) Sweet & Hot (a spicy teriyaki)
5) Jerk

You should have jerky...something else to keep your mind of the smokes.

My dad used to make moose jerky in the smokehouse on the farm. Yummy!

Jerky is weird. But I like Gouda.

What? Coco used to jerk off a moose?

Ok and jerky sounds gross. Like something you would pick up at a gas station at 3 in the morning.

I'll stick to the little weinies.

Normally I like jerky but I woke up with a belly ache and need to be careful with what I eat today.

Jerk jerky? heh heh heh.

I've never tried any kind of jerky, and I'm ok with that.

Zombs said...

Jerky is like a Slim Jim right?
