I think I have a sickness...

[squirtthecat]

But I believe I've found the cure!




12 pounds venison backstraps.  10 pounds pork loin.  3.5 pound pork belly.   1 bag of Morton TenderQuick.

Stay tuned!

[wyoduke]

Sounds like a great time to me

[KyNola]

Yep, definitely have a sickness.

[GusRobin]

The only thing that worries me that you only THINK you have a sickness. Thought you would have recognized it by now   Well I guess one of the steps of addiction is "denial". 

[squirtthecat]

First up, Backstrap 'Pastrami'.

(cured like Canadian Bacon, with some Pastrami flavor elements)

MTQ
Coriander
Brown Sugar
Powdered Onion/Garlic
Black pepper



Rub a dub dub.




Times 4.

Next - Easy 3 Chile Bacon.

Weigh out a pork belly.



(2.8 pounds)

Mix together 2.8-ish T of MTQ, a few teaspoons of brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of this..



Into a 2 gallon bag, rub both sides real good.

Add:



.... and 1/4 cup of pickled jalapeno juice.


Looks like this:

[KyNola]

Boy, you just ain't right!

[squirtthecat]

But wait, there's more!

6 pounds Canadian Bacon.  (MTQ, brown sugar, garlic/onion powder)



[edit]
I drizzled some Hickory Shagbark syrup in each bag before I sealed it.
[/edit]

And something I can't even think of a name for.


MTQ
Anchiote Powder
Cumin
Soileau's
Hungarian Half-Sharp paprika
Garlic/Onion powder





Before I put the Anchiote in.




The Anchiote has a consistency of silly putty.   After schmearing it all over the loin:

I'm definitely watching this one with interest.

[KyNola]

I thought we wuz naming it Spanadian Bacon!

[squirtthecat]

I thought we wuz naming it Spanadian Bacon!

Works for me!  (with some Hungarian and Cajun influences)

Wow Squirt you do have it bad. 

I have a slab & 1/2 of snake river belly unthawed.  I think I'm going to use some shagbark hickory on one piece.

[squirtthecat]

It's good stuff.  I like it on the CB.
Last one I injected the loin with the syrup...   Boy did that make a mess.

I'll admit right now this isn't all for us.   The backstraps are for my office neighbor at work, and I'll probably give away 2/3rds of that belly bacon..     The CB is staying here, and I'll probably take the Spanadian Bacon to work.   (my captive audience/test market/critics)

[GusRobin]

I'll probably give away 2/3rds of that belly bacon..     

Where does the line form?

[Tenpoint5]

Suppose I'll get blamed for this addiction as well for getting CRG addicted to Sausage!!!
