    Canadian Bacon

    So i decided to make Canadian Bacon from a couple small tenderloins. I hit them with the proper amount of Tender quick by weight, but I added Real Maple Syrup, Honey and Coconut Sugar Syrup to the bag as well. How long would yall leave them to cure? They are about 1.5 to 2 inches around.

    Honey Bacon?

    I ended up going Honey Maple on half  and demerara sugar and pepper blend on the other and of course cure number 1. I also took the two ends i cut off and packed them in salt to make salt pork.

    Salt Pork Or a version there of.

    Got Some Umai Dry bags on the way so i am considering once this is done in the salt pack cure stage I will then put it in the Umai Dry Bag and dry it out. Any reason this would be a bad idea?
