Spice Mix

The spice packet found in both Morton® Sugar Cure Mixes (plain and smoke flavored) is formulated for curing hams or bacon. The spices are packaged separately from the other ingredients. This is to prevent any chemical change that may occur when certain spices and the curing agents are in contact with each other for an extended period of time. If you do not need an entire package of Morton® Sugar Cure® mix for a particular recipe or must make more than one application, prepare a smaller amount by blending 1 ¼ teaspoons of the accompanying spice mix with one cup of unspiced Morton® Sugar Cure® mix. If any portion of the complete mix with spice is not used within a few days, it should be discarded. It is not necessary to mix the spices with the cure mix if spices are not desired. The unspiced Sugar Cure mixes contain the curing agents and may be used alone.
