The slab bacon is from the book Charcuterie which has a few bacon recipes. The Canadian bacon is from Ratio. There is a Canadian bacon recipe in Charcuterie, but the brine looked overly salty.<br /><br />The internet is full of bacon lovers and homemade bacon. You shouldn't have a hard time finding a recipe. The only ingredient that is tough to find is pink salt. Not sure about the stores near you, but I get mine from either the Sausage Maker in Buffalo, NY or Butcher & Packer in Chicago, IL. I'd offer you some of mine, but Minnesota is a bit of a drive....Jon in Albanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766493068147115690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989376878473705758.post-64842376050082560602010-09-24T10:20:56.581-04:002010-09-24T10:20:56.581-04:00I'm drooling already.

One of my goals in life is to encourage as many people as possible to cure something. I got one guy hooked last winter. What can I say, I'm an enabler.<br /><br />Not sure if pink salt is available locally. Maybe Adventures in Food has it. I've got a friend in Buffalo that is willing to stop by the Sausage Maker and hook me up with supplies. Anyhow, if you want some, it's on my shelf.<br /><br />Mer- thanks. I'll be sure to get some pictures of the smoking.Jon in Albanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766493068147115690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989376878473705758.post-83903023066436493042010-09-23T16:14:26.316-04:002010-09-23T16:14:26.316-04:00That looks delicious already.That looks delicious already.Merhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722620539285772878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989376878473705758.post-5053217418740999052010-09-23T07:24:08.721-04:002010-09-23T07:24:08.721-04:00duuuuuudeeee!!!!!! yr my fucking hero!
