Reply to "Curing is not required for jerky"

You can make good jerky without a cure. But if you plan on keeping the jerky a long time or not in the fridge, a cure is not a bad idea. I plan on using it especially when it will be in shipment for 5-10 days.

I've also made it without a cure but store it in the fridge and eat it relatively fast. I've also had non cured jerky turn moldy/rancid within 2 wks. So think good food storage/fridge when not using a cure. Now, it could have been my problem that the jerky turned bad, but I don't worry about it with a cure.
