Weston Jerky Dust - to cure or not to cure?

Hi,Alberta,

I would use the cure, but if they gave you 4 ounces as pictured then you have enough cure for 100 lbs. of ground meat. Use only 1 level teaspoon per 5 lbs. of ground meat. Let cure overnight for best flavor and mix once or twice while curing. Weston is a little careless with their curing instructions, reading their link you might think that kit only cures 10 pounds. Remember,Prague powder,cure #1,instacure are all the same. 1 ounce to 25 pounds ground meat.f you want to be even more precise search for digging dogs cure calculator on this site and weigh and cure all your recipes.

Weight the meat and mix the spices & cure ( level t spoon per lb. ) required  with just enough water to dissolve to a paste. This will help to get a more even coating when you mix with the meat strips. Then cure 4 hrs. or more. I still like over night  best.
