<![CDATA[First time bacon]]>First try at bacon
I used a recipe of the internet called for a cup of kosher salt and a cup of brown sugar and a teaspoon of pink cure salt it all so had a mix of molasses and maple syrup rubbed on it before the salt and sugar then in the fridge in a baggie for 7 days turning daily took it out washed it of and it is so salty you can’t hardly eat it so I have it soaking in water before I smoke it

I also add 1TBS course ground pepper, 1 TBS onion powder and 1 TBS garlic powder. I did this because the pink curing salt made the mix too salty for my taste. My next venture will be to add the maple syrup to the mix and see how that works out.
