Wanting something different?
Try Dee-Jay’s Cured and Smoked Meats! Curing and Smoking of the meats adds an enhanced flavor.
The Curing and Smoking process dates back to the 1800’s. The curing and smoking process includes curing, smoking, flavoring, or cooking. The process of curing and smoking uses salt, sugar, and nitrates. Smoking helps to seal the outer layer of the food being cured. This was done as a means to preserve meat so that it would not go bad.
Studies have indicated that dietary nitrates found in cured meats are vital to the prevention to some forms of heart disease.
