I prefer pork loin from the rib end of the loin because it has a little more fat and a better flavor.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Stir together water, salt, brown sugar, Instacure, and vanilla in storage tub until solids are dissolved, about 3 minutes, then add maple syrup and stir until dissolved. Add ice and stir until cure is cold (ice may not be completely melted; keeping liquid cold slows salt absorption).

  2. Add pork to cure, then weight with a large plate to keep submerged. Chill, tub covered with a lid or plastic wrap, 36 hours.

  3. Rinse pork and pat dry, then discard brine.

Why this Maple-Cured Canadian Bacon works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Maple-Cured Canadian Bacon that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
