How long to cure meat?

[cruzmisl]

Hi All,

I seasoned a bunch of meat to make jerky with Hi Mountain jerky cure. It says to let it cure for 24hrs but what if I leave it on for another 20 hrs? I ran out if time and can't dehydrate it today:( Is there an upper limit?

Thanks,

Joe

I have done the same thing before and it turned out fine. Got too lazy to dry it and put it off for another day, no problems. I love that Hi Mountain season.

I have the slicer, next step is to buy one of those fancy ovens from Sausagemaker.com. Currently using the oven with a spoon in the door - works ok for now.

BTW, I moved this to the techniques section so others could find it later.
