Tough Jerky
-
Any tips on bringing tough jerky back to life? It’s got good flavor. But it’s pretty thin and brittle.
Sarah I have had success using a 2 quart zip lock bag 3/4 or less full of jerky, 2 absorbent water wetted paper towels, then wringing out as much of the water as possible by hand, straightening out the towels and slide them down one side of the lightly jerky filled bag. Seal and put into the fridge for 2 - 3 days before opening. The dry product will absorb moisture from the towels slowly. Repeat until desired moisture conditions are achieved. I’ve done the also for dehydrated fruit when it got to dried.

Sarah I think deweymeats has the best option for jerky already dry and brittle. For future batches youmight want to cut your jerky a little thicker and if you are interested in trying something different check out How to Make Tender Jerky at Home and/or Making Tender Jerky with Home Equipment
