Cures

We have 2 pigs at the butchers. I've been looking for a good cure for the bacon and hams. Any suggestions?

I know nothing about that but will bump it up for you.

I think what you are looking for is called Pink Salt or Prague Powder.

That's part of it. I want a recipe that has something sweet, like brown sugar or maple or something NOT peppered. I've had enough of peppered bacon.

I recently read or heard that it is better health wise to use paprika than black pepper. I am not sure why. I should see if I can find where I saw it.

Go on line to the Morton Salt company and look for their line of premixed cures, they have a bunch of choices and the instructions come with your purchase.

I use Pop's brine from the smoking meat forum. It works nicely without being overly salty. I have also used maple syrup in it. Do not use hard water to make the brine.
