Seriously.....little freaked out. I blame Sandman and Smokin Don for posting pics of buckboard bacon. Really been wanting to try and make some.
So I bought a Butt from Wally World as my Costco doesn't carry butts....only shoulder. Does it matter?
Anyway, opened the butt.....got a nose of sulphur.....I know this can be normal. So I gave the meat a good rinse.
Made a cure with Tenderquick, some brown sugar, and molasses powder.
Vac sealed and in the fridge for a 9 day nap.
Not sure I am comfortable being on the dark side
Stay tuned.......
