1. Grind the venison, bacon and dried cranberries through the fine die of your grinder. If you are using pre-ground venison, chop the dried cranberries well and add them to the ground meat. Put the meat and cranberries in a large bowl and add all the remaining ingredients. Mix well with your (very clean) hands until everything comes together and starts to stick to itself.
2. If you have a vacuum sealer, seal the mixture and set in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours. If you don’t, pack the meat mixture into a lidded container and press some plastic wrap directly onto the surface and let it sit that way.
3. The next day, separate the mixture into two or three chunks, depending on how big your jerky gun is. Pack it in and squeeze out lengths of jerky onto your dehydrator trays. Make sure they are separated from each other. Dehydrate at 150°F until the meat is mostly dry, but still chewy. If you don't have a dehydrator, you can smoke-dry it in your smoker, or in an oven set to "warm," with the door slightly ajar. In both of these cases, you want to keep the temperature as close to 150°F as you can.
4. This sort of jerky doesn’t keep as long as traditional jerky because of the fat content. But it will keep for several weeks in the fridge, and it freezes well.

1. The night before you want to make the jerky, grind the venison (or use pre-ground) then combine with the salt, pepper, pink salt and ramp leaves.
2. Meanwhile, cook the serviceberries with the maple syrup on medium heat, until the pan is nearly dry, breaking up the berries a bit with a spoon to help them cook down.
3. When the pan is nearly dry, about 10 minutes, remove the serviceberries and cool completely. Combine the venison mixture with the serviceberries, I like to do this in a stand mixer, you want to make sure it's really worked together.
4. Allow the mixture to sit overnight, then pack into a jerky gun and spread out on dehydrator trays lined with parchment. Dehydrate on the meat setting, or roughly 145-150F. Use your intuition here as far as doneness, the jerky should still be a bit chewy, but should be noticeably dried, for me it was taking about 5 hours.
