This is not your min-mart jerky.
Thank goodness.
When Wichita Falls, TX-based Jerky.com sent me a sample of its new “Pineapple Jerky,” I had horrifying visions of sinewy, jaw-breaking dried meat sheets doused in pineapple juice arriving on my doorstep.
What came in the mail was something all together different: Thin, dried rounds of actual pineapple. No meat was involved; only honey. And this “jerky” was actually pretty, almost resembling a dried flower.
This fruit jerky is made in Maui. It’s not cloying like dried pineapple chunks in so many trail mixes. Instead, it’s just sweet enough, making it a tasty pick-me-up. It’s pretty chewy, too, almost like a fruit roll-up. A 1-pound bag is available on the Web for $29.99.
Inquiring minds may want to know that the company makes the other kind of jerky, too.
