    Bourbon Bacon / Canadian Bacon (q-view)

    Thats what i would like to know too Al.  Neither loins changed colors much, but at least the once slice i fried and tried got somewhat of a ham look to it.  Nobody has gotten sick yet, so it can't be TOO bad for us, or we're just lucky

    Bourbon Bacon / Canadian Bacon (q-view)

    Hey all, sorry about the wait, and lack of popcorn and beer, i'll stock up more next time. The smoking went as smooth as can be, 12 hours of maple smoke and they came out looking like this: Slice shot of the Canadian bacon frying.  It did get a more pink ham looking color when done...

    Bourbon Bacon / Canadian Bacon (q-view)

    I did the fry test yesterday, it never turned the nice bright red, but you would think that after 11 days the cure should have worked its magic?

    Bourbon Bacon / Canadian Bacon (q-view)

    So i'm re-stocking the freezer with bacon for the long winter up here, and decided to try my hand at Canadian Bacon, and figured why not try some bourbon on some of the pork butt.  After curing for 10 days, i took a 3 pound slab of meat out and added bourbon to the bag: I put it back in the...

    Bourbon Bacon?

    Bourbon bacon sounds fantastic, but i would wonder what effect it would have on the curing process, if any?  Anybody know if marinating a slab of meat after it has been cured has a negative effect on the curing process?  If it doesn't this sounds simple enough, cure it for the standard 10 days...

    Buckboard bacon goodness? (q-view)
