WHAT have YOU been doing Today??

[Little FR]

Sliced up 25lb worth of jerky. Marinating for tomorrow. Dropped my wife’s deer head off at a friends to get the skull cleaned and a “special” mount made for Christmas. I’ll tell the story and show y’all when it is done, she browses the forum 😅.

Got 2 hams and two shoulders hanging, going to grind and make summer sausage with the high temp cheese her dog left, chocolate lab ate $20 worth, hasn’t pooped in a week.

I've noticed from previous post that you make alot of jerky. What's your recipe for the marinade, if you don't mind me asking.

Recipe? I don’t use a recipe. I just mix stuff till it smells good enough to eat by itself, then add the meat to it.

If I don’t have one thing I just add another and never measure because I might do 1 lb of jerky special for somebody “scorpion pepper flavored” or “honey bacon” and I might do 6 gallons worth of my classic “sweet heat” I’ll do my best to message you roughly what I use though.

Same way we've been doing it for years now, guess work but it always turns out good, and never last long.

That’s what I always did except The couple times I’ve used the premixed cure. I always just pull down some spices I think would go good together and then if it smells good and tastes good together then there we go

6 gallons?

Well I have 2, 3 gallon pots. I filled up one last night “sweet heat” and a one gallon ice cream container “scorpion sauce” and our big crock pot with sliced deer marinating “a regular batch” The other 3 gallon pot was full of deer testicles and such so I couldn’t fill it up too.

I have 14 racks on my dehydrator takes 1.5 hrs to fill and holds about 15 lb wet. We usually make 4 whole deer a year into jerky.

Deer is hard. Lol. Been doing this since 3. Bout to pack summer sausage.

 

[drakeshooter]

I don’t soak my jerky. I season it like I want it then beat with a tenderizing mallet until thin, slice and dehydrate. Gets finished quicker, easy on my teeth and no wet mess.
