Mortons smoke flavor sugar cure, any other uses?

[Dasbear]

I've had this sugar cure for quite some time but have no desire to cure Bacon or ham so are there any other uses for it? Can it be used in pepperoni sticks or other dry sausage recipes? does it have any curing qualities or is it Just flavored salt.

[DiggingDogFarm]

Yes, it's a cure.
The smoke flavored sugar cure contains nitrate, but no nitrite.
It's intended for dry curing hams and the like.

So can I use this in pepperoni sticks as a sub for "cure"?

[DiggingDogFarm]

I would only use it for what it's intended.
For pepperoni that's 'quick' cured use Cure #1, for dry-cured pepperoni use Cure #2.

I got curious , some say you can wipe the outside of meat before smoking.
Makes the smoke penetrate better.so I googled it.
