I was attempting bearcarvers pork jerky last week and got rained out . So after marinating I rinsed and froze it . A week later it's on the smoker . I did make a couple changes to the recipe. White pepper instead of cayenne and I used coffee instead of wine . Since I had neither in my pantry. Smelled fantastic. Then the last time I made jerky I smoked a couple large sweet onions to add to recipes for a touch of smoke..wow what a difference they make in a roast or soup . It's like night and day . So 2 more onions went on the smoker today also.
