I have checked everywhere locally and cannot find Morton's Tender Quick. However, I was in Amish Country last weekend and figured they would carry it. Sure enough every local store had an ample supply. When I bought it, the lady told me that she had all 3 things I needed. They had the Tender Quck, liquid smoke, and bags of Morton's Sugar Cure. I haven't heard the sugar cure discussed on the board. Can anyone tell me what the different is and how to use it?

Sugar cure is used on hams by many, I have also used it on salmon, leave out the hickory flavoring.
It is an older fashion cure than TenderQuick but it has it's uses.
