Was about out of bacon so it's time to make some more.
This is going to be Maple Brown Sugar.
Here's the belly I started with.
Cut into slabs and measured out all the ingredients.
All rubbed down and vacuum packed and ready for the fridge for the next 10 days or so.
Out of the fridge...
Myself, I take the slabs after smoking and put them in vacuum bags and put them in the fridge for a week to 10 days to let all the smokey goodness soak thruout. Then slice it up and package. Going to be slicing some up today as a matter of fact. Look for my Q-view. :biggrin:
Thanks Dave. I'll Have to give this a try. I have several crocks that I use to make pickles in during the summer (When the garden cooperates). This might give them a porpose during the other half of the year. I was entrigued by your "Red Kraut", it reminded me of a dish my family would have...
So, Ideally this is a project that should be started sometime during the fall or winter when indoor ambient Temps are more in line with the fermenting temps. As opposed to trying this in the heat of the summer.
I agree with Dave. Cooked meat (or partially cooked) does not accept smoke like a raw piece of meat. Smoke it for a while first, then move it to the oven or whatever.
