1/2 ts pepper

Serves many people.

Trim fat from venison and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick slices. Place meat into the marinade made by combining the above ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl. Marinate at least 8 hours in a cool place.

Remove to a rack and allow to air dry until they become glazed. Do not rinse. Smoke for 12 to 16 hours depending on degree of desired dryness.

Use approximately 3 panfuls of hickory or cherry wood chips to add to flavor.
