    Jerky, waddya think?

    I thawed a venison roast and trimmed all the junk off to wind up with about 3#. I ground it and added the following; (Made up, of course.)
    1-1/2 tsp Kosher salt
    3/4 cup of brown sugar
    Instead of water I used the last of my home made mulberry wine, 3/8 cup
    1/2 tsp chili powder
    1 tsp cayenne pepper
    1 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp garlic powder
    3 tblsp worchestershire sauce
    2 tblsp soy sauce
    1 tblsp course black pepper
    I used the jerky shooter and have it in the smoker with one pan of apple chips.
    I won't know what happens until tonight.
    It smelled real good is all I can say. The wine is gone and the berrys are gone for the year so if it comes out great I have to wait until next year to make it again.
    By the way, the wine was fantastic!
    I started a batch of home made beer yesterday, should be great with jerky.

    That sounds like a winner to me. Let us know if the taste is good as the smell you mentioned.

    You guys have inspired me to try my hand at making jerky. I think I'll use beef instead of CarpetMan's favorite white meat. Although you can't knock success, two of his brands, "Old Tom" and "Tinker Bell" are best sellers in San Angelo....

    It came out very good but needs more pepper, both black and cayenne. My grandson said it doesn't have enough spice. Next time I'll try it. It has a nice sweetness.
    Reminds me, I have peach wine I can try in it.
    OOPS, don't add any more cayenne, the heat comes through after eating a bunch.

    recipe sounds great.


    Time to sit by the campfire, chaw a strip and sip a cold one.

    There isn't anything that homemade beer doesn't go with!!!!!!!!!!
    Been awhile since I made any, but a friend from England is coming for deer season this year and I think that I should make some for such a special occasion.

    I agree with the statement "beer goes with everything". If the homebrew on hand doesn't go with the meal at hand, you need to have another one befoer you eat. Or you need to pull out another style.

    Beer and wildgame jerky can sustain a man, woman and kids don't fair aswell on that fodder though.
