I thought I would test out a recipe that combines three great things. Pork, Pure Maple syrup, and Bourbon!
( I am shooting from the hip a little with this recipe... So maybe wait until I get it smoked and tested before you try it out)
1- cup Bourbon
1/2 cup Pure maple Syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
pinch of cayenne pepper
add 1/3 cup of the basic dry cure rub mix (below)
Put them in a pan, bring to a low boil and reduce to simmer till it thickens up (stir it while it simmers, approx 15 minutes). Allow this mixture to cool enough to handle
Pour over Belly and rub in.
Slide into a 2 gallon ziploc bag and overhaul daily for 7-10 days (until the belly firms up).
Then smoke it!!
------------------------
basic Dry cure rub mix recipe
1 pound kosher salt
1/2 pound sugar
2 oz. pink salt
-----------------------------
I'll will update with pics as I move forward. And I will make any suggestions to change the recipe after I finish it.
