I'm Mad At Myself For Waiting So Long Canadian Bacon W/QVIEW

[ronp]

I was just reading over this post from the last one, and I got pissed as to why I waited so long to do this again.

and part 2
http://smokingmeatforums.com/forums/...ad.php?t=21945
that one has the finished QVIEW.

I have had a bonless Pork loin in the fridge for weeks, It was another score. The use date by was 9-3 in cryovac. I knew it would be alright, and after opening and rinsing it was fine.


So, here is the plan. I'm going to follow my last one from the above threads with 2 exceptions, I am going to dry cure it in my new toy, the handi-vac sealer and with syrup. Have no idea what the vac process will do or change

So here goes.


This was the score.




4 1/2 pounds of delight.




Rubbed with 4 1/2 TBS Tender Quick and syrup. In the vac bag for the duration, I didn't completely remove all the air so when I rotate it there will be some movement for the cure to slosh around.

Part 2 will be thursday I guess, unless someone tells me different because I vac packed it.

And that's it for now.

I hope you are not getting tired of my smokes, sometimes I think I should just smoke and not post, but I am addicted and also love to share.

Thanks for watching the QVIEW, and wish me luck!

That sounds good Ron! I've never tried it with syrup. Can't wait to see how you like it. :)

i know that a few years ago maple syrup in smoked venison sausage was the latest craze, i know theres some still do it so it must ne good, at least worth a try....cant wait

Lookin' good! Can't wait to see the finished product!

I'm not sure how it works in a vac-sealed environment, but the usual cure time/rate is 1" of meat in 7 days. So, say your loin is 2" thick.....it will cure from both sides.....should be at least 7 days in cure before smoking.

Just my $.02,

maple cured bacon is pretty common in england. Expensive - but common.
I've noticed this last week or so the shops have been getting decent sized pork loins in.
Let us know how the vac cure goes - I can feel a bacon making session coming on. But first I'll wait to see if I just shove it in a bag or vac pac it :-)

Thanks for the luck.

I'll let you know, Jeanie.

I will Erain.
Thanks, Pops.
Thanks for the advice Eric. I went 4 days on the last one and it was good.

Maybe because the roast is round not flat like a brisket. All I remember from school about circumfrence is something about pie R squared or who the hell knows, been too long
.
I will let you know.


Thanks, MH.


Ok Gene I will.

Thank you. I just don't want to clutter the board.

Thanks for watching.

Now I ain't picken on ya ron. Are you applying pure maple syrup or the corn sugar/ high fructose maple flavored syrup. I like the maple flavor in the pork. And would let it cure the full term. Honey, brown sugar or molasses would be a good alternative to the simple sugars if it is not pure maple syrup. I am just asking and not stirring.

 

[allen]

Hey Ron, Don't feel bad, I have been wanting to try a canadian bacon move myself but scared it will not turn out

 

[white cloud]

Allen, Canadian Bacon is one of the most easy things to cure and smoke, providing you have a good thermometer. give it a try you wont be sorry

 

[carpetride]

Looks good, gonna keep my eye on this thread

 

[ronp]

Thanks C R. A few more days.

It is just some Mrs. Butterworths syrup I am trying to get rid of. It has worked in the past just to sweeten along with brown sugar. I know high fructose is not that healthy for you.


Nothing to be affraid of just use my original threads as a guide. It was good and easy. Tender Quick is easy and good, just follow directions though they can be confusing at times. You can always P M me and I will help you.

Thanks for watching.
