using a lean cut instead of a shoulder. I call it my "Canadian Bacon". If you were on my short list you might get a package. These are going in my Christmas gift bags with smoked Gouda and pepper jack cheese, buttermilk breakfast sausage, my Wife's toffee........
This is with the Hi Mountain buckboard bacon cure.
I trim as much fat/sinew from these as i can before and after the cure. These were in the fridge for one week before smoking with a mix of hickory and alder.
Enjoy..............
