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 months. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES KEPT BEYOND THE RECOMMENDED TIME MAY NOT BE AS NUTRITIOUS OR TASTE AS GOOD, BUT WILL NOT SPOIL UNLESS THE PACKAGING IS NO LONGER INTACT. RECIPES Beef Jerky 8 Tuna Jerky 8 Spicy Beef Sticks 9 Teriyaki Chicken 9 "Sun"-Dried Tomato Basil Spread 9 Yogurt Roll-Ups 10 Beef Jerky 8 servings 1½ pounds flank steak 1⁄3 cup Worcestershire sauce 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 racks. Do not overcrowd; leave enough space so that pieces are not touching. Cover and dehydrate on medium for 8 hours, or until desired doneness, flipping strips once about halfway through. Depending on the uniformity of the strips, the racks may require rotating throughout the dehydrating process, as bottom racks will dehydrate faster than top racks. Store beef jerky in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
