I like the recipe using pineapple juice.I've made 3-4 batches of this tweeking things a bit for varied taste.There is one here(recently) if you do a search.
You probably need to do a few batches tweeking ingrediants and amounts until you make a batch you Just Freekin Love! When you make that magic batch - write it down. I found making exceptional jerky is like baking a cake - everthing has gotta be just right. Good Luck
