Jerky From Store Bought Ham ?

[lathechips]

Can jerky be made from a store bought 1/4 " sliced ham ? What seasonings, how long in a MES, or anything else I need to know ?

 

[lathechips]

Ham is precooked, sliced, & on sale. What else can I do with it besides a ham sandwich ?

Ham salad is a good option. Even though it's still a sammy.

I made this from a double smoked ham.

Fry or grill it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Filler for omelets.
Season pots of beans, peas, or greens.
Add to fried corn or corn pudding.

Depends on the ham. I'm not crazy about most ham but slices are good fried up in a hot skillet.

Ham jerky sounds quite interesting to be honest. I've had bacon jerky (storebought) and ham would surely be better due to the low fat content. Now I want to dry a bit of my lean BBB and see what it's like.

My ex mother in law used to make ham jerky for Christmas . Seemed to come natural for her .

I feel like ham slices in the dehydrator would make a decent jerky. Maybe marinate them in a sweet brine overnight first?

It's good . I do it with a lot of the lunch meat stuff I make . Pastrami makes really good jerky as does the ground formed bacon . I just do it in the oven and dry it to my liking .

I would think jerky would work fine for it. I've made @Bearcarver pork loin jerky and really like it!

I made jerk and Asian jerky from loin and I LOVE it. Way cheaper than beef jerky too.

First dive into jerky

After seeing Joe and Steve crank out the delicious Asian jerky I just had to jump in. I’ve meant to make jerky for the better part of a year after Robert sent me the dehydrator he retired. I prepped around 21 lbs starting weight pork loin. Trimmed well and went with roughly 1/4” slices against...
