Back bacon ?

[Mofatguy]

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!

Tbs and tbs are the same. tsp is a different story, but either way you will be fine.

Barry. I meant teaspoons instead of tbs. Corrected in above post.

You still should be OK. do a fry test before smoking to make sure but I usually add a sweetener (like maple syrup) before or during the smoke anyway.

You will be fine I have done the same thing and actually liked the extra sugar.

Figured it would be ok since the tq was correct.
Thanks

When I do it I use TBLS . 1 tablespoon of TQ per pound of meat , 1 TBLS of brown sugar per pound of meat . Always comes out fantastic .
