Mesquite: Native to Texas and much of Mexico, this smoky southwest flavor is not to be missed.

Backwoods™ Jerky Seasonings have been delighting customers since 1991. We make it simple with our easy to follow instructions and pre-measured cure in every package. Marinate strips or mix with ground meat and use with our famous Jerky Cannon # 468! For wild game and domestic meat.

For consistently flavorful jerky use the recommended number of pounds of meat this package is intended to produce.

Marinade Method:

  • Remove all sinew and fat. For best results, use a cut from the hind legs.
  • Cut meat into strips 8" long and 1/8" thick.
  • To make the entire 5 lb. package at one time: Dissolve entire seasoning and cure packets into 2-1/2 cups of water for 5 pounds of meat.
  • To make the entire 25 lb. package at one time: Dissolve entire seasoning and cure packets into 12-1/2 cups of water for 25 pounds of meat.
  • To make smaller batches: Dissolve 4-1/4 teaspoons of seasoning, a scant 1/4 teaspoon of cure (1.1g) and 1/2 cup of water per pound of meat in a glass bowl.
  • Place strips of meat in the bowl and marinate for at least eight hours in the refrigerator.
  • Remove strips from marinade (discard remaining marinade) and place in oven or dehydrator.

Ground Meat Method:

  • To make the entire 5 lb. package at one time: Dissolve entire seasoning and cure packets into 5 ounces of water. Mix with 5 pounds of meat.
  • To make the entire 25 lb. package at one time: Dissolve entire seasoning and cure packets into 25 ounces of water. Mix with 25 pounds of meat.
  • To make smaller batches: Dissolve 4-1/4 teaspoons of seasoning, a scant 1/4 teaspoon of cure (1.1g) and 1 ounce of water per pound of meat in a glass bowl. Mix with meat until mixture becomes tacky.
  • Roll a small amount of meat with a rolling pin until 1/8" thick and cut into strips. For fast, easy, uniform strips use the LEM Jerky Cannon®.

Process in one of the following ways:

  • Preheat oven to 200° F. Place in oven on a cookie sheet and leave door open to first stop. Dry for 1 hour and 15 minutes on each side or until desired texture and dryness is reached.
  • Place on rack in dehydrator and dry according to manufacturer's instructions.
    • Refrigerate or freeze finished product.

    Keep cure out of reach of children.

    Do not use more cure than recommended.
