I tried to make deer jerky last year using some jerky seasoning packets. I thought I had it nailed, the jerky tasted great, but after about a week it started to mold....horrible waste.
I am guessing I cut it too thick and did not dry it enough.
Any tips would be appreciated. How do you store it once it is made? What is the best seasoning/persevative packet?
I store mine in a paper bag loosely closed. It needs to breathe not sweat. Or vac pak and freeze if you make to much. Just defrost in the fridge in the sealed bag.

I like mine a bit chewey not totally dried. Therefore I vacpac it into smaller portions and freeze it. When I want some I thaw a package and eat. It doesn't keep very long around here due to my son. LOL
I guess that is the route I will go this fall if the hunting gods smile on me...make up a bunch of it and put it in week size vac sealed packages and dump it in the freezer.
Mine never last's too long. I put it in a paper bag and toss it in the freezer. I put some in a ziplock sandwich bag and defrost in the fridge when I want some to eat. EVERYDAY!!!
HA
