How to Make Sugar Cured Smoked Pork Loin Canadian Bacon
- Rinse the pork loin thoroughly.
- Place one garbage bag inside another, opening both as wide as possible. Place the pork loin inside the double-bagged setup.
- In a bowl, mix together the cure ingredients (see below for recipe). Pour the cure mixture evenly over the pork loin, ensuring complete coverage.
- Securely tie the garbage bags and refrigerate for 5 days.
- After 5 days, remove the pork loin from the bags and rinse thoroughly.
- Preheat your smoker to 220°F (104°C).
- Place the pork loin in the smoker, adding wood chips to your fire source as needed.
- Smoke for 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 150-160°F (66-71°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature accurately.
- Remove the pork loin from the smoker and wrap it tightly in foil. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the pork loin to your desired thickness. Serve immediately or enjoy it the next day on a roll or bread for an even more flavorful experience. It will never be dry if you follow these directions!
