I won a can of tocino spam Saturday night, cooked it Sunday morning and absolutely loved it! Time for some research. Found some recipes, the common thing was that it needs a red color. Some use cure 1, food coloring, or red beet powder. This is a sweet meat. Found a recipe that I had the ingredients for and gave it a go.
Started with just shy of a 3 pound pork shoulder. Sliced about 1/4" slices
Mixed up the marinade of salt, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, orange juice and pepper. For the redness I went with both the cure and food coloring. I added the cure to give it a hammy taste. Tossed the meat into a ziploc with the marinade.
This will now cure in the fridge for 3 days. A traditional Filipino tocino is fried and served with garlic fried rice and a sunny side up egg. This is what's planned for Saturday morning breakfast if I don't have to work. I'll be back in 3 days.

I'll find out, probably do it next weekend.
they give door prizes out. The prizes are what the kitchen committee gets for donations from area businesses. One of them must've worked at the local Hormel. I can only find it by special ordering it.
