Tis' the season for all thing maple, and bacon is no exception!
We all know that shop bought bacon is no use, thin, stringy & watery springs to mind!
Our dry cures allow you to make your own delicious bacon easily at home, in just a few days!
Simply rub the meat, cure in the fridge, slice & cook.
This recipe uses a 2kg joint, with around 50g of our maple bacon cure - but keep in mind that this is a ballpark figure, you effectively cannot use too much cure, as long as the joint is well covered & the cure is fully rubbed in, use more/less!
Use this delicious sweet bacon in festive sandwiches, pies, pasta dishes & more.
Ingredients
2kg pork loin joint
50g maple bacon cure
Method
Rinse the meat joint (remove rind if you wish) and pat dry.
Sprinkle over the bacon cure - we recommend around 1/3 on the rind side, and the rest around the meat, rub the cure in well.
Lay the meat, fat side down, in a suitable bag or tray (this does not have to be sealed shut, just covered well.
Cure, refrigerated for around 4-5 days, flipping & massaging the cure in daily.
Once cured, rinse well and leave to mature for 2 days.
Slice and cook as preferred!
Try using belly pork for delicious streaky bacon, or cutting the rind/fat off to make bacon medallions!
