Anyone have a decent Jalapeno bacon EQ recipe? I attempted a batch with 5% blended fresh Jalapeno and didn't get hardly any flavor out of it, I skipped dusting it at the end because the cure looked like a green sludge and I figured it wasn't needed.
The recipe I used:
2% salt
2% sugar
4% black fine ground black pepper
5% fresh blended jalapeno
0.25% cure
I'm wondering if using a needle tenderizer on it would let the flavor penetrate more than the skin or if I need to just add the flavor to the bag after slicing it and let it soak in. Thanks
