how to store jerky?
« on: October 13, 2013, 01:34:11 PM »
I need advice from an ol pro, I just finished a load of beef jerky trying out a new brine for venison, and now I am not sure the best way to share it. I used somewhat fatty cuts and didn't do the best of Trimming the cuts, there are a few pieces with fat still attached, yet only a few and not much fat.
I was thinking about letting them sit in a paper bag for a day or so, then vacuum packing and freezing.

Any dangers with that either health wise or ruining the Jerky?

Thanks

Freezing works well.  The fattier it is, even frozen, the sooner it should be eaten so it doesn't get that old fat taste to it.

Thanks for the help guys. I am mostly worried about it going rancid if I miss a piece of the fatty jerky. It'll only need to be held about a few weeks, I'm sure it'll all get eaten at elk camp.

A couple of weeks, don't worry about the fat.  Good luck with the elk.
