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

But wait, there's more!

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

I drizzled some Hickory Shagbark syrup in each bag before I sealed it.


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:

HA ha ha ha! You found the "cure"; I love the pun! :D


Can't wait to see the results. I am really into this whole curing & smoking learning adventure. Squirt, you're feeding my addiction!

Cool Squirt. where did you get the habanero sugar?

I did a 3 lb chunk of belly bacon today with the shagbark hickory syrup. Definitely different but tastes good.

MrsSTC's relatives from Tacoma sent it to me around Christmas. I think they found it at a store in Portland, OR. It is definitely hot.. Wouldn't want to accidentally sprinkle that on your Oatmeal in the morning. :eek:

I think it is an epidemic and I think I got it to thanks. Look forward to seeing the results next weekend.
You guys are making it hard for me to stop, I smoked 2 days last weekend and the same this weekend.
The worst part is I am already planning next weekend please don't stop.
