Well.....I screwed up.
Making back bacon for the 1st time.
Weighed the loin. Just a few tenths less than 5lbs.
Using Bear's instructions.
Using TQ at 1 Tbs/lb I measure out 5 Tbs and rubbed equally on loin.
2Tbs/lb brown sugar. Measured 10Tbs and rubbed equally onto loin.
Placed in bag and fridge to start 10 day cure.
Do you realize what I done?
Yup. I used Tbs on sugar instead of teaspoons!
Question is, do I need to worry or is it just going to be extra sweet? Will the extra sugar impede the cure or go ahead?
I keep telling myself I need to go get my glasses checked. Me thinks a trip to eye doctor in my near future!
