Homemade Smoked Bacon Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Mix salt, cure, sugar, and maple syrup
  • Place pork into an air tight container, or what I use is a large ziplock bag.
  • Rub the cure all over the pork being sure to coat all sides and edges.
  • Seal up the container or bag and place in the fridge.
  • Turn over once a day
  • After seven days remove from fridge and thoroughly rinse off the cure with cold water.
  • Place back in the fridge on a rack uncovered overnight
  • Next day the pork should feel slightly tacky
  • Place into your smoker or BBQ( set up for smoking ) and smoke at 180-190 degrees until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees( not any higher, you do not want to cook the meat)
  • Remove from smoker and it sit until cool enough to handle
  • Remove the skin without taking off the fat ( fat is flavoring )
  • Cool in the fridge, slice to desired thickness, and start frying.
  • Freeze the rest in freezer bags with the air removed. I used a food saver.

    Other than a few extra items in my rub, this is how I do my bacon, also. And, I agree with 'CopCook' - you can not beat this bacon!! We're on the road, but I'm anxious to get back to my smoker!
