I'm gonna try my hand at making some Butt Bacon. I have a recipe I got from Len Poli's site:
2lb Butt
75ml Un-sulfured Molasses
48G Kosher Salt
45G Brown Sugar, dark
30mL Liquid Smoke
9G Garlic Powder
8G Onion Powder
6G Cure #2
Has anyone tried this recipe from LPoli's site? Why Molasses and can/should I substitute something else for that? I prolly won't use the liquid smoke since I plan on running it through my smokehouse (his recipe does not call for smoking it hence the liquid smoke).
Any suggestions on alternate recipes for Butt Bacon? I don't care for a ham type bacon, but would prefer an American type bacon.
