Maple Canadian Bacon

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.

After the smoke and IT of 150*.

Into the refrig. for 2 days, now sliced and ready.

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.

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.
