Shelf Life
Because fruits have a naturally high sugar and acid content, they
dry well and store for longer periods of time than vegetables.
When properly packaged and stored at room temperature or below
(70˚F or less), most fruits will maintain a high quality and nutritional
value up to a year. Most vegetables are best when eaten within six
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES KEPT BEYOND THE
months.
RECOMMENDED TIME MAY NOT BE AS NUTRITIOUS OR
TASTE AS GOOD, BUT WILL NOT SPOIL UNLESS THE
PACKAGING IS NO LONGER INTACT.
RECIPES
8 servings
1½
pounds flank steak
⁄
cup Worcestershire sauce
1
3
2
tablespoons liquid smoke
¼
cup light soy sauce
2
tablespoons light brown sugar
2
cloves fresh garlic
¼
teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Place meat on a plate and freeze for 1 hour. This will make it easier to
slice the meat into thin strips. Slice meat into ¼-inch-wide strips, cutting
against the grain. Combine remaining ingredients. Marinate beef strips for
a minimum of 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Place strips on the trays. Do
not overcrowd; leave enough space so that pieces are not touching. Cover
and dehydrate on 150ºF or on the M1 setting for approximately 8 hours,
or until desired doneness, flipping strips once, about halfway through.
Store beef jerky in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
