1. Trim any fat from venison and slice across the grain into thin (~¼”) strips; set aside. For a chewier jerky, cut meat with the grain. (Tip: Placing meat in freezer for 30 minutes prior to slicing will make it easier to slice thinly.)
2. Using a large resealable plastic bag, add all remaining ingredients except for black pepper (soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, liquid smoke, brown sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic and red pepper flakes).
3. Add venison and seal bag; refrigerate for 4-6 hours, or overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove venison from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place strips in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of meat reaches 160°F. (This step is recommended by the USDA to destroy any bacteria that might be present.)

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.
