Can you confirm that these quantities are correct? I will adjust what I make based on how much meat that I have.
100 lbs of hams or loins
2.6 lbs Maple Bacon cure
2 oz California ham spice
2 oz cold phosphate
Inject 20 lbs of the cure and then tumble.

Curing hams/loins with blue ribbon maple bacon cure -
Curing hams/loins with blue ribbon maple bacon cureI was just using 100lbs for easy figuring I won’t know exactly how much meat I will have till we butcher, probably around 50lbs so I would cut the recipe in half.
I will be using Blue RIbbon Maple Bacon cure, cold phosphate, and California ham Spice.
Would the proportions below be correct for 100 lbs of meat
2.6 lbs Maple Bacon cure
2 oz California ham spice
2 oz cold phosphate
Inject 20 lbs of the cure and then tumble.Do you know why 10% solution is added to Bacons and 20% is added to hams?

Curing hams/loins with blue ribbon maple bacon cureSo would I take the " How to make homemade smoked ham" recipe and use 2.6 lbs of Maple Bacon Cure instead of the 2 lbs of Country Brown Sugar cure? The recipe says that it is for 25lbs but if I mixed 2 gallons of water with this 2.6 lbs of seasoning it would 19 lbs and about enough to cure 100 lbs of meat with a 20% pump.

Curing hams/loins with blue ribbon maple bacon cureI bought some Blue RIbbon Maple Bacon cure, cold phosphate, and California ham Spice. We are butchering this Thursday and I would like to inject this cure and then put it in my vacuum tumbler. I haven’t been able to find a ham recipe using the Blue Ribbon cure and was wondering what you would recommend?

Using a vacuum tumberFor doing hams I assume that I would just follow the injection direction for your smoked ham recipe. Can I substitute Blue Ribbon Maple Bacon cure instead of Excalibur Country Brown Sugar Cure?
Would it work to tumble the bacons and hams together? I notice several difference in the recipies, the bacon one calls for adding 10% and the ham recipe calls for adding 20% to the weight. Also the Ham recipe calls for cold phosphate which the bacon doesn’t use.

Using a vacuum tumberThanks for the info! My tumbler is about 26" diameter, about 36" long and it spins at 10 rpm.

Using a vacuum tumberI have built my own vacuum tumbler and will be using the blue ribbon maple bacon cure and bacon taste booster that I have just ordered. I was wondering what percent of water I should add to the meat and how much of each product that I should use per 100 pounds of meat.
