R.I.P. 7/21/2024
Had a pretty thin slab of pork belly so I decided to try something different and if it didn’t work out no big loss.
Eight days of curing with tender quick with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Made a slurry of brown sugar, pure maple syrup and cinnamon. After air drying in the fridge overnight I covered the slab with the slurry and let it sit for about four hours in the fridge. I let it come up to room temperature while I got the mini ready to go.
Minion start with three chunks of hickory. Temps were 150 -160, when it hit 140 I pulled it and put it in a bag and into a bucket of ice water to stop the cooking.
This is the first time I’ve used Stubbs charcoal and I have to say I’m impressed. I burned far less and had far less ash than kingsford.
Sliced it up the next morning. Fried up a few pieces and it was excellent, best bacon I’ve made so far. Nice sweet maple smoky taste and the cinnamon adds another level of flavor
A big thank you to the bacon master Bob Correll for helping me get started in the making of my own bacon, this was #15. So much better than store bought bacon.
Have a great week
