not sure if you can see color difference, but there is apart on 2 peices that is quite a bit darker than
the rest of it
is this normal, or should i trim off?
i used Habs recipe - THANK-YOU - with maple syrup added
cured for 6 days, washed off and soaked twice for 30 mins
overnight in fridge
the pics are from it warming up for smoker
tested it for spongeness the darker part seems to be just as firm as the rest of it
thanks for your time and input

That is just a different muscle.

I've had them that way, No issues. The dark part is actually moister.
