I use Matt's jerky recipe for all of my elk, venison, and beef jerky, with excellent results. After making the jerky, I freeze or refrigerate it to prolong its shelf life.

It takes a side-by-side comparison to prove that this cheesecake is vegan! It has a wonderful pumpkin flavor and a delightful texture. Your non-vegan guests will never suspect that it is dairy free!
