Healthy homemade snacks
Going back many years, my closest friend and her husband had a dehydrator. Her husband used to make home made jerky, and she’d bring it to work for me. Well I liked it so much that one year for my birthday she gave me my own dehydrator as a gift. That’s how I started making my own jerky. My Mom liked it so much she bought her own dehydrator and started making it too. I have an American Harvester Snackmaster and my Mom has a different brand. I have a Jerky Works Kit which contains a gun and different tips so you can make your own slim jims, as well as some seasoning packs. I use 97% fat free gound beef if I can get it and if I can’t I use 93%. It takes a while to make jerky so I make a big batch, usually at least 2 pounds of ground beef. I have also made home made fruit rollups. The next thing I want to try is dried apples.
When we’ve made something I seal up whatever isn’t being eaten so it doesn’t go bad. I have a Foodsaver vacuum system that my parents got me. I recommend it highly if you have anything you want to store and be sure it’s air tight. If you’ve ever thought about getting a vacuum system for your home, now’s a good time. Foodsaver has been nice enough to give me some specials.
