Lean meat can be more than healthy, lean meat can be fun, we promise! Cut into strips, salted, and dried, jerky was once one of the only ways to save protein for later or to take on extended travels. Since then, we have begun to smoke, dehydrate, sweeten and spicy our chewy strips to delicious oblivion. Try your hand at the preserved snacks made from domesticated and wild animals. There is even a delicious vegetarian version, too!

Smokey Salmon Jerky
Molasses, black pepper, lemon and liquid smoke combine for one of Alaska’s favorite ways to save the bounty of their summer waters to have through winter. A simple brine and then some time in a dehydrator will leave you with a perfectly chewy, but not too tough texture. Get the recipe here.
