• Brush the maple syrup on the top of the roast.
• Cover the baking dish with foil.
• Place in the oven and bake for one hour. Remove the foil and continue cooking until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

PEAMEAL BACON

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.

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Cut three 1-inch slits across the top of roast. Place a cooling rack on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Place bacon on rack. Combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, rosemary, salt and pepper. Brush one half with basting mixture. Bake in centre of oven for 25 - 30 minutes and baste with remaining mixture. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 130F/55C. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing I prefer to do this indirectly on the bbq with smoke packets. 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.
