<![CDATA[Finally tried it]]>Re: Maple bacon

First and foremost, thanks for all the suggestions from everyone!

So i finally tried adding the maple flavoring to the cure before injecting into the bacon. I added 2 tablespoons for 10 lbs of bellies (nice thick bellies at that) and also brushed a light coat of dark maple syrup on before thermal processing. It may have increased the maple flavor ever so slightly , but it was barely noticeable over just the maple that is in the cure.

I will either try more flavoring or I may melt some of the syrup in a small pan of water, let that cool and then use that water to mix the cure. That should add both maple flavor and sweetness.

Stay tuned!!

Some people will actually say maple is experienced as a scent more than a taste so that MIGHT play into things as well. To people who say that I point to maple candy and no one has ever explained that to my satisfaction!
