I've made jerky only once so far, and it wasn't exactly a success. I tried rabbit as it's already lean, but the flavoring recipe wasn't the best. Just haven't gotten around to trying again.

I don't care for black pepper which seems to be the main ingredient in commercial jerky, which is why I want to make my own. Salty is good, peppery isn't.

An alternative to jerky is Epic bars. The pork versions are 0 carb, the chicken is 1g, but pretty spicy.
