corned bear loin

[Florida_Native]

Just curious if anyone has made corned bear? I met some guys this weekend while I was turkey hunting. They had corned a deer roast and it was amazing. I took one of my loins out and am corning it now per the directions from mortons.

Just curious if anyone has tried this? I'll post how it turns out.

Tagging!

Vulcan you tagged it so I thought I'd toss up the recipe. Again its from Mortan's. I thought it would be good with some juniper berries but the two stores I hit didn't have any. Also Walmart didn't have either cure. Yokes had tender quick and Fred Meyer had sugar cure. Unfortunately, the sugar cure has some artificial smoke flavoring. I post how it turns out.

Directions
Preparations:
Trim surface of fat from brisket. In a small bowl, mix Morton® Tender Quick® mix or Morton® Sugar Cure® (plain) mix, remaining ingredients and spices. Rub mixture into all sides of brisket. Place brisket in "food grade" plastic bag and tie end securely. Refrigerate and allow to cure 5 days per inch of meat thickness.

Cooking:
Place brisket in Dutch oven. Add water to cover. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Simmer until tender, about 3-4 hours.
Ingredients
One beef brisket, 4-6 lbs
5 tablespoons Morton® Tender Quick® mix or Morton® Sugar Cure® (plain) mix
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

So here is the finished product. It turned out really good. Maybe less than five days of.cure time next try. It  called for 5 days per inch but that was a little much for my taste.

Here is a tip you probably already know. If your corned bear is too salt just make hash
