Steps:
- 1. In a plastic (preferably) container large enough to hold both the brine and the meat, mix together the water, maple syrup, salt, cure, and spices.
- 2. Scoop out a scant 1 cup (200 ml) brine, and use it to load the brine injector. Then, inject the loin every 3/4 to 1 inch (2 to 2.5 cm), inserting the needle about 3/4 inch (2 cm) deep. Try to distribute the brine evenly over the loin. Place the loin in the container with the remaining brine, and keep the meat submerged with the help of a plate or an object of a similar build. Cover and refrigerate for 4 full days.
- 3. Remove the loin from the brine and pat it dry. Then roll it in the meal of your choosing. Give it a day's rest, uncovered, in the fridge, so the meal and meat form as one.
- 4. You have two options on cooking it: you can slice it and griddle it for a minute on each side (for thin slices that is), or you can bake it at 375°F (190°C) for about an hour, or until it has a core temperature of 142°F (61°C), then slice it. I like it the first way, especially when it gets a bit burnt on the edges and I have added a dash of maple syrup that caramelizes a bit toward the end.
PEAMEAL ROAST
This was an "accident" that turned out very very well! A friend from the USA had written to say how he missed "Canadian Bacon" (also known as Peameal) so I thoughtlessly went to the butcher's and bought and froze a 4.5 lb chunk of it-not realizing I could not so simply export it to the States. So there it languished for ten months...after giving a dinner paty last night that did not give enough leftovers to provide a meal, I decided to try roasting this one... Accompanied with fresh mashed potato and steamed veggies, this was uniquely delicious...lots of leftovers that will accompany breakfasts, format sandwiches and suppers; any remains will go over to my next batch of pea soup...

Set up bbq for indirect cooking with temperature maintained at 250F. Please smoke packet over heated burner and allow smoke to start then add roast and smoke for approx 2 hours adding more smoke pouches as needed for the first 1 1/2 hours.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality cut of peameal bacon. Look for bacon that is evenly thick and has a good amount of marbling.
- Soak the peameal bacon in maple syrup for at least 2 hours or overnight. This will help to infuse the bacon with flavor and moisture.
- Cook the peameal bacon in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours. This will help to tenderize the bacon and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the peameal bacon with your favorite sides, such as scalloped potatoes, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
- Leftover peameal bacon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Peameal bacon is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you are looking for a hearty breakfast, a savory lunch, or an elegant dinner, peameal bacon is sure to please.
