Looking for a no salt seasoning
Grillnugget
Posts: 71
Hey all, I want to add some heat to "candied bacon", like a sweet then heat kind of deal. I tried a little Everglades heat and realized I need something that doesn't have salt in the mix. Does anyone have a spice recommendation? Every label I've checked locally has salt as the first or second ingredient. Suggestions on a homemade blend are also welcomed.

Dizzy Pig has a good assortment of no salt seasoning. Todd's Dirt also has a no salt no MSG Original Dirt http://www.toddsdirt.com/products.htm You can always up the heat to any rub with cayanne. Or, search for Mickey's Rub on forum and leave out the salt.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

If it was me, I would mix my own. Add what you like, for candied bacon I would probably use black pepper, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cayenne/red pepper flake and a touch of garlic and onion powders.THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Try making it with hand-ground herbs/aromatics and maybe some bourbon + turbinado sugar. Make this into a paste and brush it onto the bacon.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Sorry, I miss read your post...thought you were looking for no salt rubs. Actually, Mickey's rub will work for candied bacon, remove the salt, up the brown sugar, add bakers chocolate and sub cayenne for the ancho pepper.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
If all you want is to add heat, I would just use cayenne or hot sauce to whatever you're using to candy the bacon. FWIWLBGE, PSWOO, 36" Blackstone, MasterBuilt smoke box- Playing with fire in Three Rivers, MI

That’s pretty much the base. If it’s going to be Egg’d, could go w ordinary paprika, no smoked needed, tho’ the smoked seems to be a better grade paprika.Legume said:If it was me, I would mix my own.

edit .... wow, looks like you are right. did they change their mixes? I could have swore they were no salt. My bad. I find most commercial rubs way to salty. OR rubs were perfect for me.Eggcelsior said:.I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.
