Well I made my first batch of Jerky last Sunday. It came out great (just have to tweak the seasonings a little). I also used a cure for it that I got from SausageMaker.com. Went to grab a peice out of my Zip Lock bag last night and saw one peice of Jerky with a tiny white fluffy spot on it that I assume is mold. I inspected the rest and found no more. Can anyone advise me as to what happened or what I did wrong? The only thing I can think of is that I added a little salt after the fact (in the bag) and I think maybe the salt attracted moisture. But all Jerky has some salt on it and I've never had any (I've bought) that got the little white fluffy spot on it. Any advice would be helpful. Jerky is expensive to make and I'd hate to have to throw any of it out after only a few days. Afterall, Jerky is supposed to keep for a while. Thats why it is cured.
