Canadian Bacon

[Bob Correll]

I cured a piece of pork loin for 9 days using only Morton's Tender Quick.
Yesterday I smoked it with sugar maple, it seemed only fitting.

It took about two hours to hit 150.

It had some fat on one end, some of that end went into a pot of pintos for supper.

Had another slice with my Eggos this morning.

This turned out really good. with the only extra flavor coming from smoke.
CB is so simple and easy to make I highly recommend trying it. if you haven't already.

That looks great Bob, I will definitely follow your suggestion.

That looks great Bob. Have a pork loin in the fridge right now. Think I will use some for Canadian Bacon. Did you just sprinkle maple sugar on the outside or how much did you use? TIA

Thanks guys.
No nuttin' Bob, cured with TQ only, and nothing else added before or after smoking.
the wood used was sugar maple though.

I did one back in 2007/2008 and my friends sure liked it. I used a brine with more spices..... I'd have to dig pretty hard to find the pictures.

Looks superb Bob. Did you truss it just to keep it a little rounder for a more even cook?

Thanks Cliff!
That was my intent, I tied it before curing but don't think it was tight enough to make it more round.

That looks great Bob. We must be one the same channel, as I write this look what's going on in my backyard. You are so right making CB is about the easiest thing you can do. I even used sugar maple for the smoke.

Hey Bob, I noticed that the loin was trussed. Was it cut before you cured or smoked it?
