Meat; cut into 1/2\" thick
By 1\" wide
Wire
<<<or>>
Cord brine solution; boiling salt water

Directions

Cut meat strips ½ inch thick by 1 inch wide. String onto a piece of wire or cored. Dip into boiling brine solution (1 cup salt to 1 gallon water) until meat loses its red color. Remove meat from water and let drip dry. Hang near a fire, but not so close as to cook the meat. May be air dried or sun dried, but this takes much longer (days or weeks), and the meat must be protected from insects.
