Hi jfsjazz,
Thank you sir. That really 'clears the air' for me.
For information to those who may be looking for a local source for Morton curing salts, I found that Kroger grocery stores carry those products in selected stores. My local Kroger just happens to be a stocking store.
My first small batch of Canadian bacon is quickly disappearing. I know that I will soon be doing some more. A warning though - this may become habit forming.
Keep on doing what you enjoy.
Best Regards
