Jalapeño and Brown Sugar Bacon - Hickory Smoked

[TexasMuskrat]

Good looking bacon. I hadn't thought about a glaze before. Wonder if this would work well on beef bacon as well.

Thanks Shawn!

I’m sure it would, there is one way to find out, and that is to try it!

Nice looking bacon. The final product looks great. I also might back off a touch on the smoke, or use a less prominent wood, like apple. Good job.

I want to try several different kinds of smoke, apple is on the list!

You do that! It really wasn’t that difficult, the hardest part was waiting so long with it in the brine, but it was worth it!

I read about dry brining bacon. It takes much less time, and is just as safe. I've never done bacon, and may try. No financial advantage over regular store-bought bacon.

Yeah, I read about it too, but wanted to go this route…

It’s definitely not cheaper than buying it…but way more fun!!
