Pork Jerky

I discovered this website when I was searching for some other recipes, not one for pork jerky. Yet, I found it interesting as it never occured to me that this can be made at home. I have forwarded this link to many of my friends, especially those who likes cooking. Then I put it aside.

After getting comfortable with using the oven given to me by my sister-in-law, I gave it a try on the pork jerky recipe. I followed everything except the food coloring part that I skipped.

This is how it looked after cooking in the oven for 1 hour. For anyone interested in doing it, I would recommend to buy pork with more lean meat. I had told the butcher that I need 'half fat and half lean'. There is a lot of oil in the tray after cooking.


The next step is grilling it to get it more crispy. In fact, after grilling, it turns a little reddish just like those from a shop!

It turned out very nice. The hardest part of the whole process is cleaning of the grill. And because of that, I probably won't want to do it again although my friends and family all said it tasted good.
