Belzebubeef jerky

Well about 7:30 am this morning daughter got home from work and we gave it a whirl. Verdict is flavor is decent but needs more depth. Heat level was not what I was expecting. Actually much lower than hoped for :(

I think you need to try it out on some poor, unsuspecting schlob who thinks Pepperocinis are hot.

Heat level was low...There is always Brushing on Pure Capsaicin Oil! That should bring the heat up...JJ

Al'right!
Thank you Holly, got home today and your jerky was waiting on me.
I'd completely forgot about it, a nice surprise.
Thank you very much.

Okay, my take on this after a taste test.
The flavor is pretty good, but there is just a hint of bitterness.
Two ways to go in my opinion, sweet or salty, perhaps both.
The heat, yep it's definitely not what I expected for what your recipe listed.
I rank it as mild, maybe 4:10.
That's damned surprising, where is all that capsaicin going?
I can see how you'd be a bit disappointed.

Now my youngest son, he's 13 and loves jerky and snack sticks.
He knew that it might be spicy hot and tried it anyways.
He rates the taste as 8:10, real nice flavor he says, but with the same hint of bitter.
The heat he rated 6:10 which is about his limit.
Yeah, to him it was pretty hot.

My wife just ate some, she says it's good and she rates the heat at 6:10 or 7:10.
Her only complaint was it was tough to chew.
Babes, it's jerky.

Enjoy your travels and be safe.
I look forward to trying out a hotter jerky.
And thanks again.
