1st time with Pops Brine fantasticQ/view

[dandl93]

I came on this site to learn how to make Bacon and Ham.I learned how to make my Smoker and Brine my Bacon and Ham on this forum.I am very happy with my first try and so is all my friends and family.Yes I have along ways to go for perfection but even at this stage I am in heaven.You have to understand there is no Bacon or Ham here in this Country and it has been years since I have been able to eat any.

I kept my first brine very basic and straight to Pops recipe and documented every thing.I am very happy I did now I can add or subtract for the flavors I and my family and friends like. 

Pops .............. Thank you so very much for sharing your families love and time proven brine recipe.I have read over many times your postings and will keep rereading them to better my self.

Thank you also to all the very talented people on here that I have learned so many things from.There is no way I can post every ones name that I have learned something from but I have to throw a few out.Dave Omak,.Foamheart, WesW,Disco,Dingo Old School and Bearcarver...And so many others.

Sweet deal.

I use the low salt version of pops brine.

How could a country survive without ham or bacon?

I went in the middle on the salt 1/2 cup.Also the brown sugar here is actually raw un processed sugar not as sweet as USA brown sugar.

Since I moved to this country over 12 years ago from the USA there was very few things I missed or could live with out.A few things like Wrangler jeans and books written in english I could get shipped in also my FORD pickup.But Bacon And Ham not possible to import.Now I am happy.

Ask not what you're country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.  One of my favorites is pulled ham made from Pops brine with some honey mustard sauce on a long roll.  Now I'm getting hungry again.
