Does anyone know the process of extending your homemade jerky shelf life to several months? Perhaps to a year shelf life. I see brands like Krave that state they don't use any nitrates or preservatives, yet have a shelf life of a year. Their products are packaged in, what looks like regular jerky bags with the zip locks. They aren't vacuum sealed. Can homemade jerky be packaged like this and have a long shelf life?
