Tips:

  • Choose the right venison: Use venison from a healthy, wild deer for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim the venison properly: Remove all visible fat and silver skin from the venison to ensure a clean, lean jerky.
  • Slice the venison thinly: The thinner the slices, the faster the jerky will dry. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Marinate the venison: Marinating the venison in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. Use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice, as well as spices and herbs.
  • Dry the venison thoroughly: Before drying the jerky, pat the venison slices dry with paper towels to remove any excess marinade. This will help to prevent the jerky from becoming tough.
  • Use a dehydrator or oven to dry the jerky: You can use a dehydrator or an oven to dry the jerky. If using a dehydrator, set the temperature to 145°F (63°C) and dry the jerky for 4-6 hours. If using an oven, set the temperature to 200°F (93°C) and dry the jerky for 2-3 hours.
  • Store the jerky properly: Store the jerky in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Properly stored jerky will last for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy venison jerky is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for on-the-go. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy this delicious snack in no time.
