Here's our recipe. Contains only ingredients that can in theory be
documented to England in the 13th century. We're obsessive that way.

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp honey
1 tsp garlic bits
1 tsp dried onion
1 tsp dried mustard
1/2 tsp or thereabouts black pepper

Marinate sliced meat overnight or longer, dehydrate. Yum. The other half
stores his in his fridge, but this has lasted all through Pennsic while
living in a linen bag. I prefer more pepper and mustard, myself.
