Seriously - I've tried several forms of jerky - beef, venison, salmon, bison, pork, etc. Too chewy for me. Even bacon jerky which I liked the best of the jerkys - but still not a favourite.

I can understand that jerky is not for everyone but I really got into jerky when I was in the Army. I'd buy a case of beef jerky in
individual packaging, hide it my duffle bag, and head out for a week
(we were sent mhome on the weekends).

I would use that jerky to trade for the MREs I liked. Since I drove
the hot chow truck as I was one of about six people in the battery who could drive a 1969 5-speeed with no Synchromesh. That position was
always fun: hot chow would be made at our mess hall and I'd drive back
to garrison to get it, grab a few more boxes of the good MREs and head back out.

There was always a market for jerky. I sometimes would make $100+ for
the jerky.

Well, yeah. If you treat it like baseball cards (trading bait). A 5-speed "crash" box is something not many would know how to handle. I learned all
about non-synchronised transmission on the farm. Heck, most drivers today
would have trouble with a manual shift transmission.

I didn't know I had so many jerky recipes...

I still drive a manual transmission, but it's synchronised. ;) I do know how to
drive the non-synchronised as well though from an ancient pickup truck a
friend had. It also had a 3 on the tree. (At least I think it was the same vehicle!) ;)

In most vehicles w/three speed transmixers from the 1930s forward had
just low (1st) gear "uncynchronised". Intermediate (2nd) and high gears
were synchro so it was easy even for a beginner.

My first semi had a 4 X 4 driver train. That was two 4 speed boxes both
with their own "stick" One box had huge jumps between the ratios. You
began with the sticks on 1/1 then shifted the closer ratio box through
its 4 speeds. Then knock that into neutral whilst shifting the other
box to 2nd gear and the aux into 1st then through its 4 speed again. And
repet for the fional two gears in the main box. It cold get quite busy
in the driver's seat. I learned to shift throught asll the gears one-
handed - much to the amazement of my grandfather who used both hands
while keeping the truck pointed straight with his belly. Bv)=

I still have a box of this - in a display/shadow box frame my friend
Les made for me. Betty Crocker sued the pants off of the tongue-in-

Title: Pecan Peach Muffins
Categories: Breads, Snacks, Fruits, Nuts
Yield: 12 Servings

1 1/2 c A-P flour
1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Butter; melted
1/4 c Milk
1 lg Egg

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
1/2 c Pecans; chopped
1/3 c Brown sugar; packed
1/4 c A-P flour
1 ts Ground cinnamon
2 tb Butter; melted

Set oven @ 400øF/205øC.

Grease and flour 12 muffin cups or line w/paper muffin
cups. Combine topping ingredients until mixture is
crumbly; set aside.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt
in a large bowl. Whisk together butter, milk, and egg
in a separate bowl. Stir milk/egg mixture into the flour
mixture and blend just until moistened. Fold in diced
peaches. Spoon into muffin cups; sprinkle evenly with
topping mixture.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or 'til a tooth pick inserted
in center comes out clean. Remove from pan.

It was a great day for recipe testing. This is one of my
favorite muffins I've had all year. I'm whacking myself
in the head for taking so long to try it.

It was submitted to the site by Beth H. back in 2002.
It's 11 years later and I finally made it. The fresh
peach taste was amazing and the pecan crumble topping
was outstanding. The only change I made was increasing
the flour by 1/4 cup so I'd get a batter consistency I
liked. I strongly recommend this recipe. - Mr. Breakfast

Something random from Mr. Ceideburg...

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Afghan Chicken
Categories: Poultry
Yield: 6 Servings

Stephen Ceideburg
2 lg Cloves garlic
1/2 ts Salt
2 c Plain, whole-milk yogurt
Juice and pulp of 1 large
-lemon, 3 to 4 tablespoons
1/2 ts Cracked black pepper
2 lg Whole chicken breasts, about
-2 pounds

Long, slow marinating in garlicky yogurt tenderizes, moistens and
adds deep flavor, so you end up with skinless grilled chicken that's
as delicious as it is nutritionally correct. Serve with soft pita or
Arab flatbread and fresh yogurt.

Put the salt in a wide, shallow non-reactive bowl with the garlic and
mash them together until you have paste. Add yogurt, lemon and pepper.

Skin the chicken breasts, remove all visible fat and separate the
halves. Bend each backward to break the bones so the pieces win lie
flat. Add to the yogurt and turn so all surfaces are well-coated.

Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate. Allow to marinate at least
overnight, up to a day and a half. Turn when you think of it.

To cook, remove breasts from marinade and wipe off all but a thin
film. Broil or grill about 6 inches from the heat for 6 to 8 minutes
a side, or until thoroughly cooked. Meat will brown somewhat but
should not char. Serve at once.

Ah we make jerky still but an odd sort that suits *us*. It's often done with a nice fatty beef pot roast. Marindes vary but often soy sauce, wostersire, black pepper form the base. This is snagged hot and only partly dehydrated off the old ronco dehydrator with the classic stacked trays. Yeah, it still works!

Gotta suit yourself with your food - otherwise what's the point. I've
made "real" jerky only once. It was as part of a historical re-enactment
group. And was done over a campfire. The meat was pulled (jerked) from
the roasting leg of the dead beef animal.

Chewy and not all that tasty. I've stuxk with store-bought since.

My dehydrator isn't a Ronco - but it still works. I dry mostly chilies
and tomatoes with it.

Title: Spicy Salmon Jerky
Categories: Seafood, Marinades, Chilies, Preserving
Yield: 12 Servings

3 lb Salmon fillet; skinned
1 c Soy sauce
2 tb Molasses
2 tb White sugar
2 tb Worcestershire sauce
2 tb Lemon juice
1 1/2 tb Ground black pepper
2 ts Liquid smoke flavouring
1 ts Hot sauce; more to taste

Slice salmon fillets into 4 equal sections, width-wise.
Rotate each section 90° and slice lengthwise, about 1/4"
thick. Remove pin bones with needle-nose pliers. Don't
slice bony sections near the center of the fillet.

Stir soy sauce, molasses, sugar, Worcestershire sauce,
lemon juice, black pepper, liquid smoke, and hot sauce
together in a glass or plastic bowl until marinade is
well-mixed. Place salmon in the marinade, ensuring every
strip is covered. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 4
hours.

Remove salmon from bowl and drain liquid using a
colander. Pat the salmon dry using paper towels.

Place each salmon strip in a dehydrator and run the
dehydrator according to manufacturer's instructions
until desired doneness is reached, about 6 hours.

Check every few hours for doneness.

I still don't understand why you could not have sued and one that one.

I have a 2010 ford escape with the 4cyl and 5 speed manual. It's got 398,000 on it now and doesn't leak or burn a drop of oil. Damn Mazda makes a good engine! (Mazda quality at ford prices for parts! Can't lose!)

I'm still stuck on Acuchef after you mentioned in a number of years ago and find the same thing, nothing newer / more modern comes close.

I do still have my MM install and keep the recipes fairly up to date in it, but a few of the small features keep me with acuchef.
