Thank you. This truly is a community. For the first time in a very long time, I have tears of happiness and not of sadness. Thank you all so much.

PapaSop I am so sorry. “Community” Thank you. I’m not used to having support. It has just been me and my kids since my youngest got sick. Long story, almost 3 decades of marriage ended over his sickness. So, doing my best. Not sure how to speak to people without being yelled at. I apologize. There was no disrespect intended.

Thank you. I just emailed you Jonathon.

My family loves my homemade jerky and sausage. Unfortunately, my youngest son has been very ill for 5 years and he can not have any “processed” foods or sodium. So I have not made any. I have some angry boys as I have been substituting homemade kale chips and salt-free snacks.

There are several occasions where we just need some quick or snack foods while traveling back and forth to the doctor/hospital. Venison jerky would be an awesome snack.

My question is, can I make sausage and or jerky (that tastes good) without salt or preservatives? It is eaten quickly in my home so preservation is not really an issue. If so, does anyone gave any ideas or recipes?

Thank you all

Just an awesome forum. Thank you all! for your input. I truly appreciate it.
