Slice meat 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick and trim off fat. Mix all ingredients and pour over meat, making sure it is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 4 hrs or overnight is best. Drain meat. Put in single layer in food dehydrator and dry 3 to 4 hrs, more or less depending on your dehydrator. Can't really overdry it, but it tastes best if meat is still flexible when cooled. Store meat in tightly sealed container in refrigerator.

How to Clean Leftover Grease
Do you save your leftover grease in a can? You don't have to throw leftover grease from bacon, sausage, hamburgers etc. away. Reuse it by making your own lard, or add birdseed to make your own bird fat.
Back when we couldn't afford to buy shortening, we retified (cleaned) our leftover grease. Here's how:
1.Melt the grease
that is in the can till it is loose enough to pour into a pot.
2. Add twice
as much water as you have grease.
3. For each cup of smelly fat, add two table
spoons of vinegar or lemon juice in half a cup of water and boil.
4. Boil the
grease and water for about a half hour.
5. Let cool then refrigerate.
Once it cools the grease will float to the top and harden. Run a knife around the edge of the hardened grease and flip it out of the pot onto your hand. Some scum will be on the bottom, scrape it off with a knife. Now the grease is clean and reuseable.
