Tried a nice batch of Canadian Bacon. Curred for a week dried on the rack for a day and smoked using oak and hickory. A pretty simple recipe using TQ, Maple syrup and Pepper.

Mmmm Bacaon....:corkysm55

Here it is air drying in the fridge after a 7 day cure.

Tenderquick is usually used in a ratio of 1Tbls. per pound. so for CB the following could be used.

1.33 lbs of Meat
1.33Tbl of Tender Quick
3 T. Maple Sugar
1/4 C Maple Syrup.
1 tsp Black Pepper

you'll want to cure in the fridge about 10 days or 7days per inch measureing from the center of the cut. Following this ratio you shouldn't have a problem in overcurring though.
