Backwoods Jerky Seasonings have been delighting outdoor enthusiasts and culinary adventurers since 1991. With their simple, easy-to-follow instructions and pre-measured cure in every package, crafting consistently delicious jerky has never been easier. Perfect for both wild game and domestic meats, this seasoning is designed for convenience and exceptional flavor, whether you're marinating strips or using ground meat with the renowned Jerky Cannon. To achieve consistently flavorful jerky, follow the recommended amounts for the meat you're preparing. For the marinade method, simply cut your meat to the desired thickness, add it to the marinade, and refrigerate for 8 hours or more. If you're making the entire 5 lb. package, dissolve the entire seasoning and cure packets into 2-1/2 cups of water for 5 pounds of meat. For the 25 lb. package, dissolve the packets into 12-1/2 cups of water for 25 pounds of meat. For smaller batches, use 3 Tbsp & 1-1/4 tsp of seasoning, a scant 1/4 teaspoon of cure, and 1/2 cup of water per pound of meat. If you prefer the ground meat method, mix the meat with the water mixture until it becomes tacky. Form it into strips manually or with the Jerky Cannon. For the full 5 lb. package, dissolve the seasoning and cure packets into 5 ounces of water for 5 pounds of meat. For the 25 lb. package, dissolve them into 25 ounces of water for 25 pounds of meat. For smaller batches, use 3 Tbsp & 1-1/4 tsp of seasoning, a scant 1/4 teaspoon of cure, and 1 ounce of water per pound of meat. For either method, cook your jerky in a 200° F oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes on each side or use a dehydrator according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always refrigerate or freeze the finished product, keeping the cure out of reach of children. Do not use more cure than recommended to ensure the best results and safety. Backwoods Jerky Seasonings make it easy to enjoy homemade jerky that tastes delicious every time, bringing the rich tradition of jerky craftsmanship into your kitchen.
