I had some wild sow meat that was given to me and decided to make some tasso out of some of it. This stuff came out great and will be good in Gumbo or a pot of beans.
7 lbs pork + 1 1/8 tsp cure #1(pink salt) 1 1/2 Tblsp salt 1 1/2 Tblsp sugar. Let it cure for 5 days in ziplock bags in the fridge. Took it out and rinsed it well. Rubbed it with mcCormick pork rub, garlic powder, & Cayenne pepper. Let it sit in the fridge for 1 day. On the smoker @ 150 w/ hickory&apple chips for 3 hrs then bumped the temp up to 180-200 for another hour till the IT was 160.
