Canadian Bacon Tenpoint5 style (sorta)

[ragweed]

After reading 10.5's "Canadian Bacon done a little different" post, I had to try it myself.  Started with some of that Pork Loin I bought for $1.58/lb last month.


Cut it into 1" cubes and mixed in the Tender Quick and sugar.  Let it cure in the frig for 3 days, massaged daily.  After 3 days, I rinsed off the cure and soaked in water for 15 minutes.  Here's where the "sorta" starts.  Ground the meat coarse, then fine but didn't add any gelatin.  Stuffed into a bologna casing, then into the Bradley.


One hour at 120 F, then 3 hours at 140 F with Maple smoke.  Finished in the turkey roaster in 165 F water until an IT of 153 F was reached.  Took two hours.  Then an ice bath and an overnight stay in the frig.
Looks pretty good, tastes better.


Sliced up and ready for some grilled CB & cheese sammies!


Thanks for the great idea 10.5   ;D
