    I'm struggling to figure out cure amounts. Can I just use 1/4 tsp per pound of jerky?

    Just like the title says. I've read probably 10 threads on using cure, and the data quickly gets really technical. I'm just trying to find an easy rule of thumb to add cure to jerky. Is 1/4 tsp per lb safe/adequate? It's slightly more than the 1 tsp per 5 lb. rule.

    Anybody ever made marinade from jelly? (Particularly cranberry)

    Here's what I'm wondering about trying... - 14 oz can of cranberry sauce - 1/4 cup red wine vinegar - 1-2 tablespoons red pepper (may add more than that...) - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - Cure #1

    Anybody ever made marinade from jelly? (Particularly cranberry)

    I'm thinking about trying something new (for me). I'm wondering about making a marinade from jelly. I'm thinking about trying it on jerky. Anybody got any good ideas? I was thinking cranberry flavor would be appropo for this season...

    At what temp are foil wrapped veggie packs usually done?

    I put together kind of a hobo wrap to serve with a brisket. I threw in bell peppers, onion, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, some fat trimmings from the brisket and a little bit of the meat that I had to slice off the brisket so it would fit on my MES. I've got temp probes in the mix, and I'm...

    Hey guys, I'm starting this thread as a place where we can post our favorite jerky marinade recipes. I'm hoping it becomes a quick reference guide for finding lots of different ideas in one place. I'm new to making jerky, so I don't have much to contribute to this conversation, but I am...

    Honey sriracha beef jerky. First attempt. (Critiques/tips are welcome)

    Finished product. It's alright, but the marinade definitely needs work...it lacks salt for sure. However, I am pleased that the honey and sriracha flavors are both well noted in the jerky. The salt and pepper (and cilantro) jerky was initially better received by my "critics" (my family), but...

    Honey sriracha beef jerky. First attempt. (Critiques/tips are welcome)

    Jerky is in the smoker. A couple of things I think I'd do differently next round. 1) I'll be using cure on future batches just to be safe and 2) I think adding the wine vinegar to the marinade may have been a mistake. In the future, I may double down on the honey and sriracha if more volume...

    Bacon Jerky!!

    It was a hit with the whole family! But it was gone far too soon. Haha I think it would have been better if my bacon hadn't been so fatty. Yours looks like a much better cut. I'll be watching out for that next time. I figured, but definitely seemed like a good idea, so I took scissors to the...

    Honey sriracha beef jerky. First attempt. (Critiques/tips are welcome)

    If I add cure now, how long would I need to leave the meat marinating after that?

    Honey sriracha beef jerky. First attempt. (Critiques/tips are welcome)

    Thanks! I didn't use any cure...mostly bc I didn't know about needing it. I did read up on it a bit last night, and I think I'll use it in the future just to be safe, but I am thinking this batch without it should be fine since the meat is sliced so thin, I'm smoking at 170 (as opposed to cooler...

    Honey sriracha beef jerky. First attempt. (Critiques/tips are welcome)

    First time making beef jerky, so please offer critiques/tips if you see I'm missing something or could improve on this somehow (I'm sure there's lots of ways I could improve, so please share). First, here's what I'm working with. It's thin-sliced eye of round. I cut it into strips from there...

    Bacon Jerky!!

    And I just realized that I completely missed the first step... "cut bacon in half" :Do_O:rolleyes:

    Bacon Jerky!!

    Getting ready to try this recipe out. Looks amazing! I'm hoping my results come somewhere close to what you got. :) I do think your bacon is a lot higher quality than I have, but this was the best I could find yesterday. :confused: Hopefully it'll be good enough for a first attempt...
