Canadian Bacon

[vance hanna]

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.

Think I should give it a light Smoke when its done?

Not sure about time as I don't use TQ but I would definitely cold smoke them to 145 degrees so the are cooked through.

I would go 7 days in the cure.

Sounds like a good number! lol

Cure one day per 1/2 ".  2 inches would be 4 days+2 for safety.  6 days min.

Ok so i am look at about a 9 day cure give or take with 2 days added for safety.
