So First I was dealing with Migraines
Then a few weeks ago I was turned into a Pincushion
As I got the every 3 months Botox shots
Also took a trip to the the Doctor that implanted the Spinal Stimulator for a control Program adjustment / upgrade
Then I FELT A LOT BETTER
So I helped my Niece & her Husband , my Lady and 4 of her Grand Kids to harvest deer with the crossbows
As the rut was on and deer were moving
No huge bucks , but several decent basket 8 point bucks
Long story short they all got at least 1 deer
So we made sausage , burger , steaks , Back Straps and Tenderloins
But now I am helping them make Jerky
Also a BUNCH for me
My question
This afternoon I cut a rear leg thigh into 1/2" thick slices and removed the bone
I made up a Sweet & Hot jerky brine and have the meat soaking in the brine
Did I mess up cutting the meat in 1/2" slices ?
If not , how long would you soak the meat before smoking and dehydrating it ?
Thanks
John
