went to the store today and they had pork butts for .99lb limit 2 , so i picked up my 2 and made sure i got the biggest ones.....a 10lb which will be used at a later date for some pulled pork and this one is 9lbs and will be used for my buckboard bacon....
opened her up , washed and start mutilating that carcass...as you can see i am no butcher and i am not allowed to have sharp knives here at home because of my ITP....so did the best i could....i then took the pork and cut in half so it would not be as thick
ok next i did my own cure mix , i would like to one day try the hi mountain stuff but i have to go to bass pro shops and its downtown and its a mad house on weekends....so what i got here is 2 tsp of pink salt , 1 Tblsp of blk pepper resto style , 1 TBLsp of lemon pepper , 1 tblsp of onion powder , 1 tblsp of garlic powder , 1 tblsp of spanish style paprika , and 2 tsp of caynne powder...
all of this was mixed with 1 cup of white sugar ( didnt have brown ) and applied liberally over and inside of the butt ( sorry for the blurry pic wife took it )
now its resting in a sealed vac pak bag and will fridge for 10 days ...thinkin of turning over at the 5 day mark what do you think or should i turn over every day....thoughts??......ok well we will see what happens on the 10 or 11 day mark....
