THIS IS NOT LOW-CALORIE, but it is so good I wanted to share it. Make it as a treat if you aren't feeling especially fat conscious. We love this stuff.
In a saucepan, combine tomato paste, vegan sugar, tamari ginger, garlic and black pepper to your liking. Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes. Taste regularly as this creates a syrupy mixture and adjust the ingredients to your liking.
Its not as leathry as other jerkeys, but I can't think of another good name for it. It should be kind of tough when the product is finished. Let it cool for best results.
woukd sate`ing them work instead of frying??
