Pig Candy.......Test Run

[grothe]

I made some bacon about a week ago and one slab was less than stellar in the taste department.
Wondered how it would be if I used it for some Pig Candy.

Test run


3/4 pound of bacon
1/3 cup Brown Splenda (Dad's diabetic and wanted him to try it)
2 tsp Mad Hunky
1 tsp Cayenne

Smoked @250 degrees with a chunk of hickory for 2 hours


Managed to get a strip in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for Dad.
I took three of us less than a minute to devour the rest....WOW, was that good!!!
Next time I'll use regular brown sugar (splenda is fine for long cooks, but for a 2 hour smoke it had an after taste to it) and a lot more bacon!!

Man, I bet those were good..... I gotta try this Gene

That looks great, Gene. I'll have to give that a try with the batch I just made.

[RowdyRay]

Awesome. Looks like you did a fine job. Bet dad likes it. Play around with it. It's good stuff.

Made some more a few weeks ago, using Smitty's. Even better than the cayenne. Gone in minutes. Lol.
