So, what is this? A German maple bologna with extra maple cure? I have a little German in me and I grew up in Minnesota which to Californians is in Canada so maple is a thing with me.

Mixing two cures, both with nitrite. What is the mixture of the two? How much of each for that 5# batch?
Mix was at 2tsp per pound of meat. (I added a T extra)
Maple/cure was at 1 3/4tsp per pound of meat.

Can you taste the maple? I’ve tried infusing maple flavor in a few things and it never seems to survive the cook. But I’ve also never seen that maple cure. Hmmmmm.
