My first attempt at canadian bacon. Sorry for the not so great phone picture, couldn't find the camera.

First picture is air dried in fridge after removing from brine for 5 hours.

Second photo is sliced and ready for vacuum packing.

Yes, it was smoked over hickory until IT of 150.

My brine recipe:

1 cup kosher salt
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup molasses
6 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon allspice berries
1 gallon water.
 
I brined it for 3 days then gave it a reverse brine for 12 hours to remove some of the excess salt. Could have done for a bit longer but was limited on time this weekend.
