Country Bacon
List of Ingredients
10 lb pork loin
10 TBS Morton Sugar Cure (plain)
10 tsp brown sugar
Recipe
Cut the loin into three pieces in order to fit them into gallon sized baggies. Mix plain Morton Sugar Cure with brown sugar, divide into three portions and rub evenly over the pork loin pieces. Place them into gallon sized baggies and refrigerate at 40 degrees F for 10 days, turning daily to coat evenly. When complete, rinse in cold running water then soak in cold water for about a half hour, pat dry.
This cured pork can be cooked a number of ways; smoke it like ham, slice it thick and grill it or slice it thin and fry it in a little extra oil like bacon . It can also be diced and used in a variety of dishes, such as Jambalaya, pinto beans or any other way you would use ham as a flavoring ingredient.
