I am making my first try at dry curing and cold smoking bacon and I can only find Mortons TQ locally. I can't find plain ol' pink salts. I wanted to have some creativity in the process and add some maple to some of the bacon and maybe some brown sugar to some other parts, but I dont know if thats a good idea and I dont know how to do it and still get my portions of TQ right per pound.
Basically, I am not sure if my bacon will be way too sweet if I add syrup and I dont know if my portioning of TQ will need to be higher than what it says on the bag since I am diluting the cure with brown sugar or syrup.
