low carb jerky recipie??

hi billyq
good question, I had never considered carb count in jerky seasoning. I mostly use Hi Mountain seasoning for jerky, here is their ingredient list http://himtnjerky.com/product/ingredients05.pdf

Most of their seasoning kits have some sort of sugar, dextrose, maltodextrin. Looks like their pepper/garlic might be low carb.

another possibility would be to mix your own spices. Use a sugar-free cure (I have some A.C. Legg cure that has salt, sodium nitrite and dye to make it pink in color). just a few thoughts -- good luck

I also would consider jerky low-carb. I cannot imagine leaving out brown sugar or using anything like Splenda. I reckon experimentation with ingredients is the thing to do. It is hard to balance heat, acid, salt, sugar without sugar. You can use fruit, but it is still sugar, right?

Thanks guys,guess I will write some companies and see what they say about making jerky spices and cure with splenda?

I'm wondering if maybe one could use Stevia. It's a natural sweetner. I know a lot of folks that use it and they swear by it. Can be baught at health food stores, or places like Wild Oats.
Just a thought and my 2 cents worth.
