Hey...phat's back!

I made a small batch and didn't like it all that much. I rendered some elk fat and then made elk jerky that was really dry. Basically how my links describe making it. To me...very bland. But, I will try again...but with seasonings. I also think the fat had freezer burn on it...might have been a factor in the taste. I did put a bunch of the rendered fat in a glass jar and left it in my cupboard with the lid off. It is a test to see if it goes rancid. It has been a while and so far so good. I think I made it in July...so 8 months ago?

I think it has a lot of merit....just have to figure out how I like it.
