Re: Drizzle of honey on venison jerky?

I use honey, maple syrup, or Yashidas Gourmet sauce in my brine depending on what flavor I want.
All work fantastic.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

The honey batches turned out awesome! Today I tossed on a batch that soaked in Korean BBQ marinade all weekend  :drool:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Learning curve; I have a pretty nice dehydrator that allows you to add more trays to it and adjust the temperature up to 160 degrees. I purchased two more trays for doing this large batch of jerkey. What I figured out is its added around 2 hours more to the total time to finish a batch. I was planning on purchasing another 2 trays (the company states you can run up to 30 at a time) but reality it's not saving me any time with the additional cooking time they create.

My dehydrator is taking approx 5 hours per batch.  I can get 10 ish lbs in it at a time.  More meat definitely means more time.  My smaller dehydrator which held maybe 2 lbs of meat at a time took about 3 hours. 

I also check mine at the three hour mark and pull pieces that are done....then check every hour after that to do the same.  My top shelves dehydrate way faster than my bottome shelves.

boiling down 2L of Dr. Pepper right now with a cup of brown sugar added and two fresh XL chopped jalapenos chopped into it. I will add a tablespoon of Prague Powder once the mixture has reduced and cooled.

My last batch of jerky for a bit will be marinated in this for 24 hours before tossing on the dehydrator  :tup:
