Did somebody say Cinnamon Bacon? How about Brown Sugar/Apple-Cinnamon! PrOn

Butt_Pirate · 11-28-2011, 10:25 AM

So last week PigTamer asked about Cinnamon Bacon last week in a thread. I had thought about this and was wanting to give it a shot so after his thread I thought no better time like the present. I picked up 3 slabs of pork belly and had to get more curing salt from my butcher. I toled the butcher about my plans for Cinnamon Bacon and also making my Honey-Agauve bacon(my fav and what I normally make) I think this time he will remember me for sure!
For the cure I used 1 1/2 tbl curing salt sprinkled right into the belly and I let that sit in for about 8 min before stuffing the pork belly into the ziplock bags(I put them in before the rest because its a real tight fit). After in the zip lock bags I rubbed in 3/4 cups Koher salt on all sides. Then dumped & rubbed a mix of 1/2 cup brown sugar/2 tablespoons Korintji Cinnamon and some extra salt. I then massaged it in really good and then finished up with the other two bellys of Honey/Agauve bacon.
Every day I gave the bags a flip and massaged them in some more.
5 Days later this morning I took the cured bellys out of the ziplocks and rinced them off. I let them sit on the counter to form a tacky pellicle and then set up my large BGE for cold smoking. Then my camera died so I got the bellys smoking and my camera chrging so I'll be back again with more pics of the finished product!
Cheers
