  • Made Jalapeno Jerky

    Had the day off on Monday so decided it was time to smoke some jerky I had curing. I wanted to try the High Mountain jalapeno blend (saw it at BPS and impulsively bought it). Sliced up about 12lbs of venison roasts, mixed it all together and let it sit overnight. Only did one layer in the smoker this time (I sometimes stand jerky screens on wine corks to get a second layer going at the same time) and therefore only got about half of it done. Will finish the rest next week when I get another day off.

    After the meat starts shrinking I consolidate and add more, hand testing pieces along the way to check for doneness.

    Here is the first two installments in the smoker.


    Ended up with about three lbs of finished from aprox 6lbs wet. The finished pic is really dark and not worth posting.

    Overall, I like the blend. It has a nice jalapeno flavor with just a bit of heat to it. I'd use it again.

    Thanks for checking it out.

    I seen that stuff at BP, Dave. ALMOST picked some up, but figgered I'd take a run at it when the japs come in first. Probably should just buy it...

      It's good. Trying to get away from any type of seasoning mixes these days though. It was an impulse buy like I said cause I love the jalapeno flavor. No regrets. Only one would have been NOT spending the day drinking beer next to the smoker on my day off!

              Amen to that brother!
              This time was really cool too because we have a lot of Bald Eagles migrating through behind all of the Snow Geese that are resting on the lake and ice. We've had many times in the last few days where we can see 3-6 at one time, and just this morning I watched a juvenile and adult chasing each other, locking in mid air, and air-tumbling to the water. So I just sit back with my binoculars and watch the show.

              Hmmm, what shall I smoke on my next day off?

                        The High Mountain kits are all pretty good IMHO.
