RE: making jerky (part 2)
By the time you read this, it's done
Try one out and see. I take out the smaller pieces first and let the thicker slices dry out longer. Usually 4-8 hrs depending on temp. You can also dry it in your attic for 3-4 days.
Jerkey is done when it looses 70-80 percent of its moisture content. Store it in a paper bag or a jar with holes poked in the lid, to prevent mold.
