Snow Jerky

[TRICER]

So I will start this by saying this turned out to be some of the best Jerky I have had and I highly reccomend turning some of your waterfowl into jerky.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons coarse salt
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup water
• 3/4 cup terriyaki
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons chili powder/ I use Siracusa powder
• 3 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
• 2-3lbs of waterfowl / I used 4 snow breasts

Cut the waterfowl into 1/4"+ strips I go length way on the breasts. Mix all the ingredients together and combine it in a gallon. After place in the fridge for 24 hours.



Place meat in dehydrator and crack some
more pepper on top of the strips. Dehydrate for 8 hours at or around 160deg.






Vacume seal it up into snack size packs for your next hunt and throw them in the freezer. You don't have to freeze them but will last longer you can also buy some silica gel packs to keep the moisture down. Moisture is your enemy with dehydrating and freezing it will make sure it lasts for a very long time.



This recipe will work for any meat and you will like it. Dehydrating is easy and a great way to share game with friends, family, and coworkers.

The only problem I had with this recipe is my kids and wife eat it like candy lol. Good luck saving any for the future.

Drew,
What do you do to avoid the moisture after drying/freezing, do you buy the silica packs? I'm new to the ways of the dehydrator.. I made a couple jerky batches that came out great and seemed to be dry enough. Then I froze most of it. But when I thawed them, they would get moist again and got funky.

 

[TRICER]

you can buy the silica packs on amazon bulk for cheap. I typically keep it frozen until I am going to use it then I throw it in my pack. A lot of people can it as well and that seems to work well. I haven't got into canning yet but it is on my list.

Another cheap way to make Jerky is to go down to a place like Kaelins in El Cajon and buy carne asada or if you can find london broil on sale have the butcher slice it into 1/4" strips.

I cleared out the remainder of my waterfowl from the freezer and followed your recipe and it is delicious.
Although my dehydration time was 4 hours at 145.
Thanjs

Looks like you have a Excalibur dehidrator like mine . I'll check my load in four hours for dryness.
Thanks for the post .

That's awesome. It takes waterfowl to a whole mother level. Most people can't even tell that it is duck.

Jerky is good .

Get it packaged up. Nothing like eating wild game jerky while you are hunting wild game.
