Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Brine

In a large pot, combine water, brown sugar, maple syrup, black pepper, and ground mustard. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

2

Brine the Canadian Bacon

Add the Canadian bacon to the pot, ensuring it is fully submerged in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight.

3

Cook the Canadian Bacon

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Remove the Canadian bacon from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4

Bake

Bake the Canadian bacon in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 65°C (150°F), turning halfway through.

5

Serve

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
