I starting my first batch bacon today. Was going to add some maple syrup. After you do the rinse and soak would there be any maple flavor left?
This is interesting... and something new to me... JJ, can you tell how much of maple syrup (percentage) should be injected and if this should be done right before you start curing process or after... Thank you.Fully cure your bacon and add or, better yet, inject the syrup before forming a pellicle and smoking..

I have actually had great success in adding pure maple syrup to my brine, the maple flavor persists after the smoking and adds a wonderful flavor.I starting my first batch bacon today. Was going to add some maple syrup. After you do the rinse and soak would there be any maple flavor left?
I just started a bacon cure today. I am replacing the brown sugar with maple sugar. Never done it before but I am sure it will be tasty.You can also buy or make maple sugar and apply that as a coating when curing and then another dusting prior to smoking.
It works great but it is a little less sweet so you might need a bit more.I just started a bacon cure today. I am replacing the brown sugar with maple sugar. Never done it before but I am sure it will be tasty.
