    Cleaning hog middles???

    Are you absolutely positive you want to use the middles for sausage I use the shoulders as the meat is sweeter plus it usually has enough marbling of fat, legs for hams and salami but the middles I use for bacon

    First go at making home-made beef jerky.. Turned out horrible. What did I do wrong?
