Never have, bet it would be fiddly though. i have made it from beef, buffalo and impala and the key is to have it cut very thin. You can use all sorts of seasonings although i just used salt and pepper. Good luck with it

Is there any tips for cutting the meat thin enough?...And is it dried in the oven?

 

Cheers JD

Im sure rabbit could be jerkied!! If cut thin enough with a sharp blade, A razor blade or stanley blade would be ideal. A good deal of sunshine is required along with an adequate amount of salt for curing and hey presto rabbit jerky.

A fire or very light smoker will assist with keeping flies off. This must be done in a way as to not smoke the meat but aid in the drying process.

The size of the rabbit jerky pieces will only be small but there is no reason why it cant be done.

To add i would not want to try the meat though f*ck that :sick:

easiest way to get the meat to cut thin is to take the thickest bits off the bone,hen partially freeze,it will cut a lot easier then.all meat can be preserved,take a look at http://www.sausagemaking.org/acatalog/Bilt...Seasonings.html

 

with these biltong seasonings i bet itllbe a nice standby meal!
