I have been trying to get some maple flavor into the cb's that I've been doing and injecting them with pure maple syrup after curing just wasn't getting me where I wanted to be with it. I ordered some powdered maple and decided to try that I also ordered some honey so figured I'd give that a shot too. I used Tender Quick and I decided to use 1 TBS less of the powdered maple than the TQ and just added it to the TQ and other spices and sealed it up to cure after rubbing in on. Turned the bags daily. I did 7 loins 4 with the maple and 3 with the honey. When I went to smoke them I rubbed with paprika like I have before. Well the tastes did come thru but are kinda overshadowed by the paprika. All in all it is good but the next batches will not have the paprika rub. Taking the outter portion that contains the paprika off the slice I find the amount of maple or honey to be just what I was looking for not overpowering but there.
Some about to go into the smoke
Out of the smoker cooled and ready for slicing and some sliced
Lots of CB and this isn't all of it
