Jerky Home Style

first time I tried to look for a jerky recipe on the net,search sent me all over the web. Everyone wants to sell ther recipe's. Nice to find someplace that is free!!!!!!! Tried this one and it works wonderful,great flavor, and not that difficult to make. Try the low salt version unless you like salty jerky. First batch was a little salty. LOL
