I recently made my first attempt at making venison jerky.
It turned out to be very, very, tasty, but almost too hot to eat.
Not quite too hot, but really close. Many people won't even try it.
I like hot foods, but this is on the cusp.
I used a Nesco (American Harvest) spice/cure kit that I bought at Wally world on the first batch.
I let it marinate longer than the directions suggested, so that might be a factor.
I also used enough spice for around 4-5lbs of meat, but later realized I only had about 3lbs of meat prepared.
Second batch is dehydrating now.
Batch #2 should be ready for consumption sometime tomorrow.
Anyway, I've only tried the one brand of spice/cure kit.
What do you use? And where can it be found?
