Make Jerky Recipes Food Cooking International Guide
Make Jerky At Home For Those Long Trips
By Barry J Smallhorn
Make jerky is easy these days. Ensure you have fresh meat, a
quality spice packet, salt, a good oven or a dehydrator and you
can make jerky.
To make jerky in larger quantities, use an oven. Use the dehydrator
for smaller quantities.
There are many cost saving things that you can do to enjoy food.
We like to go camping, so we like to take many snacks with us
when we go on various camping trips throughout the year.
I have found that if I make the snacks for us they are of higher
quality and less expensive. We uses these snacks during travel
as well as in the field.

We do not like candy bars, however they are a good source of
energy while camping. I started making high energy candy bars
for us to take along.
Jerky as a source of protein
We also like having jerky in our travels as a source of protein.
The jerky can be very expensive. If you buy the cheaper brands
there is usually a high fat content.
I found that I can make jerky that tastes good and is very lean.
These homemade items take more time to produce, but the quality
and reduced cost are worth the effort.
Standard crispy rice bar recipe
For the candy bars I use the standard crispy rice bar recipe,
but instead of using rice cereal I use granola and add in M&M’s
and peanut butter.
I put them in a pan to cool then individually wrap the cut bars
with plastic wrap. When I make jerky I use the lean trimmings
from the meat bought from the local butcher.
I grind the meat and add spice packets that are available as
most meat counters. Sometimes I will make my own combination of
spices.
Cure the meat
It is important to put in enough salt to cure the meat. Curing
is salting and drying so that the meat does not spoil. When I
make jerky I like to do smaller batches at a time so that I can
use different flavors.
After I grind the meat I mix in the spices. I then use my cookie
press with the largest design to form logs to make jerky. The
logs can be placed in a dehydrator or in a very low temperature
oven.
We have a dehydrator, but I often use the oven method if I make
jerky in a larger quantity. I often watch for sales on beef roasts
to purchase my meats.
Most meat counters are willing to grind the roasts free of charge.
The ground roasts work better to make jerky than hamburger because
the meat is leaner.
Once the jerky is dried I place it in small Ziploc bags and pack
it in the car among all the rest of the food needed for camping
in the wilds of yonder.
I cook my own food so that we can eat relatively freshly cooked
food rather than canned food full of preservatives and fat.

Did You Know?
What are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are
pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons,
mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.
One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off
the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from
cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part
of your cooking basics.
Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer.
These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan
set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can
be used for anything similar.
