Found at many places, I picked this up at Bass Pro Shops. |
2 pounds of fresh boneless pork loin. |
Trimming the fat off the top of the loin. |
Seasoned with pepper before adding the cure. Accurate weights and measures are important in this process. |
Proper amount of cure massaged into pork loin and ready for vacuum sealer. |
Only pulling a partial vacuum allows for "breathing room" for the cure to encompass the whole loin. Into the fridge for 6 days turning every 24 hours. |
Removed from the bag, excess cure rinsed off and soaking in water for a few hours. |
Applewood smoked until internal temp of 160° |
Let rest before slicing |
Slice and eat! |
Now that is pretty bacon. And if you really want to go full Canadian on it - add maple syrup to your curing :)
ReplyDeleteI've got to do some research on maple sugar ! :)
