jerky ... dried meat ... meat candy call it what you want i have tried this a few times .. and it works out well because i have had 4-5lb batches disappear in 2-4 days i got set up by my pop-in-law with nesco/american harvest jerky spice kits ... my fav seems to be the pepper garlic spice set ... there is 3 ways i like to prepare this ... first: is dry spice in burger .. mixed well and use a jerky shooter second: roast or backstrap slice 3/4" thick soaked in a wet soak (12-24 hours) (on the packages 1/4 cup water per lb of meat e.g. 8lbs .. 8 spice packs and cure salt 2 cups of water) third: ... same and the wet soak but instead of water i use jack daniels or makers mark (i am curious about trying it with spiced rum.. but i am currently out of spices to make jerky) this was just an idea i tried one day ... turned out well .. in some cases i think to well .. i know buying spice kits is just a cheaters way of cooking ,, but it works
Bourbon Street...meat candy... If you've been there, "meat candy" holds an entirely different meaning! Especially during Decadence Fest!!!
have not been there ... although i like to make candies and cakes i do not eat sweets, chew gum or drink soda ... so i call my jerky "meat candy" for lack of a better pun
