Food dehydrating

[Fishboy]

Hopefeather,
I've been making jerky for several years and would very much like to see your husband's recipe. I have two recipes, but have settled onto one that I got from the Food Network about a year ago:

This should be made for ~2.5 pounds of beef:

2\3 Cup Soy sauce
2\3 Cup Worchestershire sauce
1 T Honey
2 t Pepper
2 t Onion powder
2 t Red pepper
2 t Liquid smoke

Place all ingredients in a zip-lock bag with the meat and kneed to distribute everything. Referigerate 4-6 hours, drain, pat dry, dry in a dehydrator on cool temp until dark and chewy. This is the recipe as I copied it, but I have a smoker that gives me that flavor much better than using Liquid Smoke, so I omit that ingredient.

I'm putting this message out to the forum to see if there are any others interested in food preservation. This is a topic that I'd like to explore with others but haven't seen anything like it on PunaWeb. I've been canning and preserving meats and veggies for a long time, anyone else in to food preservation?

A hui hou,
Fishboy
