Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove silver skin and trim fat away from pork loin
- 2
If pork loin is large cut into approximately 2 to 3 pound loafs
- 3
The ratios of ingredients are 1 tablespoon of Morton's tenderquick per pound and the dark brown sugar garlic powder and onion powder is one teaspoon per pound
- 4
For example a two pound chub would have 2 tablespoons of tender quick and 2 teaspoons each of remaining ingredients
- 5
Once you have determined your measurements mix all dry ingredients together
- 6
The maple syrup is not mandatory for this so I use just enough with the dry ingredients 2 distribute them evenly
- 7
If you opt to not use the maple syrup it is crucial that you evenly distribute the dry ingredients
- 8
Once you have evenly distributed on the pork loin place in a ziploc bag (I double bag for safety) and place in 35 to 40 degree fridge for six days,massaging daily
- 9
The tender quick cures the pork to inhibit botulism from forming
- 10
After 6 days remove from the bag and immerse in cold water for 30 minutes
- 11
Now you can slice a piece off and throw it in a frying pan and fry it up to see if its too salty
- 12
If it is still too salty repeat step 10
- 13
Pat pork loin dry and place on plate in refrigerator uncovered overnight
- 14
This allows pellicule (rind)to form on the outside
- 15
Pick the hardwood of your choice to smoke with. I prefer something mild such as maple or Apple
- 16
set your smoker temperature to 225 °
- 17
2 hours of smoke and bring the internal temperature of the bacon to 140°
- 18
wrap in aluminum foil until cool enough to handle
- 19
Wrap in plastic wrap or vacuum seal and place in refrigerator for 48 hours to mellow out
- 20
after 48 hrs. slice in 1/8" pieces or however thick you choose
- 21
you can omit any of the ingredients as long as you keep the Morton's tenderquick

#mycookbook. It's kinda expensive in the store, if you have all the stuff, spices, curing salt, charcoal, time, and porkloin it's not as expensive to make at home. A whole loin and you use 6-7 inches of it you will indeed save money.

California Farm Canadian Bacon California Farm Canadian Bacon
Our Canadian friends call this “peameal bacon”. It is made from the pork loin, a six to nine pound piece of pork that is much leaner than bacon. It is cured, cold smoked, sliced very thin, 1/8th inch thick, perfect for Eggs Benedict and lean breakfasts, and….pizza! Freezes well, like most things in Canada.

Applewood Smoked Buckboard Bacon Applewood Smoked Buckboard Bacon
Buckboard bacon is made from pork shoulder rather than pork belly. Early American pioneers made it often. Sometimes you will see it called pioneer bacon, or homesteader bacon, but basically we're talking about a piece of pork other than the belly, which is cured and smoked. During America’s colonial and pioneer eras, when many of our regional cuisines were in the early stages of development, salt curing was essential for preserving foods and, thus, was in high demand. To protect meat from insects and other animals during the curing process, some cultures learned to suspend it in the smoke of a fire. Although slightly changed today, this recipe demonstrates both methods of early meat preservation.

Smokey Maple-Bacon Baked Beans Smokey Maple-Bacon Baked Beans
Came up with this recipe years ago for a 4th of July cookout. We lived in Germany and everyone in our building stairwell was going to be there - no TDYs or vacations. We had a blast: grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and everyone brought a covered dish and desert. We had a HUGE water gun fight that started with the kids and ended with the adults sporting hoses with power nozzles. We were labelled the 'fun stairwell' and wound up coordinating some epic yard parties. Just found the slip of paper I wrote this recipe on and decided to make this as a side for our hot dog night. I added some smoked paprika to give it a smokey kick. Hubby 'Mmm' with each spoonful, so it's a keeper! The recipe can be halved, doubled or tripled - just be sure to have a large enough bean pot or casserole to hold the amount you're making.

California Farm Smoked Bacon Sausage California Farm Smoked Bacon Sausage
Old family recipe, sausage made from lean pork meat mixed with smoked bacon, boiled, cooled, then cold smoked. Made to be eaten in a breadroll. Ground Lean pork meat mixed with potato starch, shredded carrot, chopped smoked bacon fat pieces, spices, boiled, cold smoked and dried. The oak wood cold smoking method imparts the same flavor as smoking expensive fish like salmon or eel, so this one is called “smoked eel sausage”, a delicacy. Wrap in two halves of sour dough bread roll , eat like a hotdog. -

Homemade Bacon Homemade Bacon
Smoked bacon can be very expensive, so I decided to make it myself. Real bacon is very labor intensive, but through trial and error I managed to make yummy bacon without too much effort.The bacon can be smoked easier if it is cut into 2cm slices. If it is too thick, the flavor won't penetrate to the center. If the smoke color is too weak, you might want to try smoking it a second time. Also, make sure to thoroughly wipe the meat dry before smoking, otherwise the smoke will not penetrate the meat well. Recipe by Kurodai Chinuko
