I thought I had some High mountain bacon cure left, but was wrong.
I have a piece of pork butt around 4 - 5 pounds, any suggestions on what kind of cure or ingredients I can use to make bacon.
Thanks
Bud

There used to be a recipe for buckboard bacon here on the forum. I have it at home. Or here's AB's recipe:

Just my 2 cents worth, but I would goto the store and get a bag of TenderQuick and some brown sugar. Look for a couple of posts in the Forum called "Made some bacon" for an idea of what to expect from side meat. I only made Buckboard bacon from a butt once and wasnt that impressed with it. But others here LOVE it, so who am I to judge? ON a related note, tonite I get to start curing on 45 lbs of sides. Two weeks from now Ill be smoking it. I gave away all I had in the freezer for Christmas!
