Arkansas Peppered Bacon

A cult classic.

This special pepper coated bacon has been made in the foothills of Mt. Petit Jean in Arkansas by the Ruff Family for over 60 years. Each slab is cured in a “family secret” wet brine of salt, sugar and spices for four or five days. It’s smoked over hickory for just under 24 hours, rolled in brown sugar and finally hand-rubbed with cracked black peppercorns.

You had me at “bacon”, “tomato”, and “linguine”. The only improvement I can imagine would be fusili.

I’m not Italian but I live in the world’s largest Italian-speaking community outside of Italy so I know from pasta and tomatoes :-)

No Arkansas bacon here, but we get thick-cut pepper bacon in 15 lb. boxes from a meat wholesaler to break down and freeze.

Love it!

Holy Mary! After years of being vegan, I find that the meat I enjoy most now is bacon. I can live without everything else, but bacon is truly food of the gods. This sounds wonderful.
