Sweet & Smoky Venison Jerky Recipe

Print Recipe

I bet you’ll have a hard time keeping yourself from eating this entire venison jerky recipe in one sitting. In fact, I suggest doubling the recipe. Then, if you can control yourself, store the venison jerky in plastic zip-top bags in the refrigerator; they will keep for 1 to 2 months this way. For even longer storage, vacuum seal jerky and freeze.
