  • First shot at Canadian Bacon.

    I grabbed a 9.25 lb pork loin the last time they were on sale.


    Rinsed and patted dry


    Cut it in about half and made 2 kinds. Measurements are PER POUND of meat.
    First one:
    1 TBSP Tenderquick
    1 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp paprika

    The second one:
    1 TBSP Tenderquick
    1 tsp "Roasted Garlic & Bell Pepper" seasoning blend
    1 tsp Cavender's Greek Seasoning Blend (salt free)
    1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes.



    They cured about 10 days, I flipped them over every couple of days.


    I rinsed throughly and then soaked in fresh water in the fridge for about 2 hours


    I sprinkled the 1st one with some cracked black pepper and the second one with a little more roasted garlic blend. They sat out to dry a little while while the smoker warmed up


    Smoked at 150 for the 1st half hour then at 200-220 until an internal temp of 160 was reached. I took it that high so I could sliced and eat without the need for recooking/frying


    After a day or so in the fridge I pulled out the meat slicer



    Look like I am stocked up for a while

        I am glad I didn't trim any fat before hand. It still has plenty if I did fry it but can be eaten either way. I put a bunch of it in the oven this morning while scrambling some eggs. It crisped up real nice. I am already loving this stuff.

                Adam,
                How did I miss your CB!! ??? duh..?? Looks great! you wont have that for long... better get some more going in the cure!! lol! It goes sooo fast. Both loins looked perfect for CB. Funny how one has more color than the other huh? Which did you like the best, the one with or without the red pepper flakes?

                  Yeah the color thing was a little wierd. The flavors of the two were very similar but I would say I liked the one without the red pepper better-but I don't think it was because of the red pepper specifically. I just liked the paprika flavor on the first one.

                        Great job. This is/has been something I have wanted to try. After seeing this, I have to give this a shot this summer.

                        Thanks for walking me through it,
