using Cure #1
« on: March 13, 2021, 03:08:30 PM »
When adding cure #1 to a brine recipe for jerky do you have to adjust any of the other ingredients, that is if the original recipe does not call for cure#1?

I added #1 curing salt to my brine with no additional adjustments. 1 teaspoon per gallon worked just fine. It gave the meat a nice pink “smoke ring” and enhanced the flavor of the brine.
