so this is my basic bacon recipe and i smoke it.
3 lb pork belly slab
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 T molasses
2 T sea salt
1 t curing salt
2 t freshly ground pepper
If i use TQ i use 1/4 C + 1 T of TQ instead of my 1 t curing salt (#1) AND take out the sugar and salt?
To cite that link you sent...
Long story short, I'm visiting family and i'm making bacon. Back in WA i can find pink salt everywhere. But here in Hawaii I can't find it anywhere so i got Morton's Tenderquick, which was only available from a restaurant supplier (only one of 20 called!!)
anyways, how much sugar should I omit...
