C.B......makin bacon

Canadian Bacon · Posted: Jan 09 2012 Post subject: C.B......makin bacon

January....its bacon makin time Very Happy

.I had a couple 3 pound center cut pork loin roasts that I rubbed up with a buck board bacon cure...I like the flavor....I wrapped in saran wrap and placed in the fridge for 8-9 days,turning every 2 days.

I removed from the fridge and gave it a cold water bath for an hour to remove a little salt.I patted it dry and let it air dry under the ceiling fan for a couple hours.

I fired up the smoker and cooked it at 225 degrees for two hours with Apple smoke....I pulled them at exactly 140 degrees internal...on the counter to cool a bit and in the fridge over-nite tented in saran to soak up the smoke.Sliced up and vac sealed.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to write the date on stuff curing. Somehow I always forget when I started. Embarassed

Thanks for the kind words guys...next time I will use a small boneless pork shoulder roast for my bacon instead of a loin.....I like to have some fat streaks running through the bacon.

Looks like perfection to these eyes. Reminded me that I need to get off my duff and restock the freezer.

Homemade taste best.....really happy with the taste of this batch.....I find that about an hour soak in cold water,changed on the half hour.....removes some excess salt,and gives me the perfect taste....one thing i forgot to do before smoking was dust it up good with fine black pepper.
