If you're ready to create premium, butcher-quality sweet and smoky jerky from home, the Bearded Butcher Blend Hickory BBQ Jerky Seasoning & Natural Cure Kit is your perfect solution. We know how much effort goes into harvesting wild game or sourcing good beef, which is why we created a clean, natural curing process that respects your meat while delivering a classic, mouthwatering flavor profile crafted with brown sugar, pure cane molasses, and authentic smoke flavor. This kit is perfectly portioned to season and naturally cure exactly 10 pounds of ground meat or whole muscle strips. Unlike most commercial kits, our seasoning comes pre-blended with a completely non-synthetic curing system, so please do not combine it with added synthetic cures or artificial chemical additives. Our natural cure utilizes Cultured Celery Juice Powder to provide that classic pink color and authentic cured flavor, alongside Acerola Cherry Powder, a natural cure accelerator rich in Vitamin C that helps successfully cure the meat. Blended with pure Sea Salt, this creates the ultimate clean-label curing solution. Making your jerky is incredibly simple: whether you are mixing it with meat trimmings prior to grinding or distributing it evenly over ¼-inch thick whole muscle strips to marinate overnight, just arrange your meat on wire or mesh racks and smoke, bake, or dehydrate to an internal temperature of 165ºF to 170ºF. Because homemade jerky requires additional processing steps to become shelf-stable, please package your finished jerky as desired and make sure to refrigerate or freeze it for extended storage.
