For a sweeter jerky, increase the brown sugar by 1/2 tablespoon. Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the heat level. A pinch more or less can make a big difference. If you don't have a dehydrator, you can continue drying the jerky in the oven at the lowest possible temperature, propping the door open slightly to allow moisture to escape.
