Title: Maple Canadian Bacon
Post by: OldHickory on March 15, 2011, 04:08:11 PM
I saw a beautiful pork loin in Costco, $2.09/#, and decided to do some bacon.  I used MallardWhacker's recipe with Bradley's Maple Cure, did the cure the full 21 days.  I increased the rinse time to 3hr with a change of cold water each hr.  The results were wonderful.  (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_80NCxZv-WCg/TX_l5VR79NI/AAAAAAAAF5o/xiF4e1K4ff8/s800/P1010004.JPG)  After the smoke and IT of 150*.  (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_80NCxZv-WCg/TX_l8fEiNMI/AAAAAAAAF5w/G93AymBVPYY/s800/P1010005.JPG)   
Into the refrig. for 2 days, now sliced and ready.  (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_80NCxZv-WCg/TX_mAIHx1oI/AAAAAAAAF54/PJJe2cgF5qg/s800/P1010006.JPG)
This is the beginning of the celebration of my Wife and me Anniversary of 38 yrs together.

It was the best bacon I have ever had, and the beginning of a beautiful day.

We've just got 18 more years to go before we reach that.  Congrats.  That is a breakfast and a half.

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes.  It has been a wonderful 38 years, an E-Ticket ride so to speak, and she is still my BFF.
