Nov.22 just finished processing my first deer of the yr....No. 77 for my 50 cal muzzleloader(I'm old school black powder/round ball)....But the fixin' is great....slice across grain of meat approx. 1/4 thick. Their are several muscles in a hind that make super jerky ...marinade: 1 cup water 5 tblesp. of molasses,carribean jerk(marinade ) 1/2 cup,orange ginger 1/2 cup,liquid smoke, teasp. of seasoning salt...let set in reefer at least 24 hrs...place on foil to control liquid,, lightly use seasoning salt..200 deg in oven about 3hrs until top is dark,turn over salt again ,in approx another 3 hrs it can be removed.I want mine to be flexible..you want it hard leave it longer...fine snack !!!
