WIld Hawg Canadian Bacon

Postby BluDawg » Sun Sep 08, 2013 4:09 pm

I have been killing a few hawgs this summer out of necessity all have been fairly small less than 50lb dressed. I had 3 ground into sausage and two I cooked for a neighbor for a Surprise Birthday party for his wife a few weeks ago free of charge. Last weekend he pulled in the gate bearing gifts. He killed a 245lb er and brought me a loin and a bottle of Glenfildech as payback. I cut part into fillets & a roast and made Canadian Bacon form the tail.
The Cure
1 cup Kosher salt
1 cup Maple Syrup
1/3 cup Brown sugar
3 Bay leaves
3 cloves garlic
1 tbl Peppercorns
8 tsp pink salt

3 3/4lb trimmed weight in the cure for 4 days

then into the refer uncovered overnight

on to the Mini WSM with hickory at 190

rested under a foil tent for 20 min before slicing to package

Dawg, you got it looking pretty good. I haven't wet cured any as of yet. But do the dry cure and then smoke. Nothing but nice. CF :D
OK, get over it, you lost. God bless America
