| I have a recipe for canadian bacon that I got from another forum and plan to use for starting the cure this weekend for smoking next weekend. Plan to brine cure a couple of pieces and dry cure a couple. If someone out there has a killer recipe they'd like to offer up, I'd love to have it to use. Any other suggetions also appreciated. Planning to use quick tender. Thanks much. |

"Canadian Style bacon" as it is commonly referred to in the U.S. is a backloin without the cap, cured and smoked like a ham. So basically a pea-meal bacon without the coating, and smoked to an internal temp of 140'ish to emulate a cured ham.
Some lower quality manufacturers of the product are now using trimmings, emulsifying that concoction with a cure, and squirting into a tube to cook it and giving it that round tubular shape.
here is a link to what we accept labeled as "Canadian Bacon" in the picture it is numbered as "1"

and here is a picture of what I had made from an unfortunate mistake of purchasing an enhanced pork back loin and salvaging it to not just toss it out. it is a fully cooked ready to eat product as marketed down here.
