Venison or beef jerky

is virtually indestructible, lasts almost forever and can be used as a quick main meal or as a base for soups and stews. The word jerky comes from the way meat is removed from the bones. He was quickly shaken to remove many of the tendons. Three pounds of fresh meat equals about 1 pound of jerky.

Method 1: (Indian style) Hang strips of meat on racks made of willow trees for drying in the sun or sometimes in campfire smoke for a smoky taste.

Method 2: (pioneer) Rub strips of meat with dried salt and put it in a stone pot to “season” for 24 hours. (do not use water). Then remove the strips and hang them in the sun or smokehouse to dry until they are very hard.

Method 3: Mix 3 pounds of salt, 5 tablespoons of black pepper, and 4 tablespoons of allspice.

Skin a thigh of the animal, muscle by muscle removing all membranes so that only raw and moist meat remains. The best size of meat are chunks about 1 foot long 6″ wide and 2 or 3 inches thick. Rub the salty spice mixture into the meat. Be sure to cover every bit of the surface of the meat. Hang each piece by the small end to dry. If the sun is too hot, hang it in the shade. Never let meat get wet or moist; Take it inside if it rains. Cover the meat with canvas or cloth to protect it from dew. This will be at its best at one month old.

Method 4: (modern style): Buy a large beef breast from your butcher and ask him to cut it very finely for you. Dip each strip in a bowl of liquid smoke, then place it on a large, deep plate. Continue to place each strip until the bottom of the plate is filled. Then sprinkle generously with garlic salt and plenty of pepper. Place another row of strips on top of the first one in the alternate direction. Continue to dip and season each strip. Marinate for at least 24 hours. Line the oven with aluminum foil, place the strips directly on the aluminum foil close together, and bake over very low heat for hours or until the strips are very dry. Warning: This will make your home smell of liquid smoke for days.

Kathy’s Green Chili (Yes, that’s Kathy from Legends of America).

ingredients:

Lard flour 2-3 lb pork loin 1 – 15 oz can

stewed

or

• diced tomatoes

2 – 8 oz cans chopped green chili peppers

• 3-4 whole jalapeños
• large onion
• salt and pepper
• to taste 3 cloves garlic (or to taste

) 1

• – 15 oz refried beans (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

2

• teaspoons chili powder 2
• cans broth

Cut the pork into small pieces, brown with garlic and 1/4 diced onion in lard. Add the flour towards the end to obtain thickener. Then add 3-4 cups of water, a can of chicken broth, and salt and pepper. Cook for several hours until the pork begins to crumble. Chop the remaining onion, cut the whole jalapeños into thirds and add with all the other ingredients. This will cook for several more hours over low heat. Be careful as the chili easily adheres to the bottom of the pan. Periodically taste the “spiciness” of jalapeños, and depending on taste, remove when to your desired “heat”. When it is about to be completed, if the chili is too thin, remove about two cups of liquid in a bowl, add more flour to thicken, and return to the chili. Serve with flour tortillas. Great pouring on burritos.
