Nice loins Pricess! (only place I can say that and not get slapped!) LOL

Regarding the jerky.... Jerky in its most stripped down form was just salt and pepper. So really I bet you could find a no-sugar version without to much trouble.

Amen to this. You just never know how the people at the store clean and take care of their equipment. A few extra degrees for a piece of mind is worth it in my book.

Recipe looks good! I will add it to the batches of meat I'll be trying ("BATCHES?!? Vee doan need no stinkin' BATCHES!!!")  And no... *I* am the lucky one, I am married to the best man on the planet.  I mean, he lets my crazy a$$ do all this stuff AND THEN HE CLEANS UP MY MESS*!! How lucky can a girl be!?!

*The rule at the Castle is if you cook, I clean. If I cook, you clean. I do all the cooking! :)

One question: How do you reliably probe temp such skinny pieces? You gotta remember... sausage is my forte, so jerky is all new for me.

Your loins are pretty there Princess.

They look nice and moist.  Your hubby's a lucky guy. I have a jerky recipe that came out really well that is real low on the sugar. You could even reduce it and I think it would still be great.

You can't really check the temp of jerky. You kind of test it as you go. You do the bend test to see if it bends and splits a little but doesn't break. Your not cooking it you're drying it so I wouldn't think temp would be critical unless you don't use any cure.

Dang next time give me a little lead time. My kid lives in Canoga Park and I have customers in Castaic and Calabassas so with enough lead time we can make this happen.  By the way are you changin my nickname on me? LOL
