Come to think of it, if you freeze the jerky, you could leave the fat on it. That would be tasty!

After I decided I wanted to use jerky a lot, I read up on and and invested in a dehydrator. It's not hard to make, and you control what the marinade is (so you control the sugar...or no sugar!). It's cheaper than buying jerky (not hugely cheaper, but cheaper). I was surprised at what a pound of beef shrank down into when it became jerky! I'm still experimenting with recipes, but I'm pretty happy with what I make. I'm not playing around with a lot of different meats...just sticking mainly to beef.
