BACON
Vermont Smoke & Cure
Hinesburg, Vermont
How’s this for a Vermont bacon: First it’s brined with maple syrup and salt; then it’s smoked over corncobs and maplewood. The result is a hearty, thick-cut bacon (it’s also sold diced and in slabs), with just enough sweetness from the maple and the meat itself.
Suggested Retail Price: $6.99 per 12-ounce package
Where to Find It: Many independent and natural-foods stores around New England; most Whole Foods stores; and online at: VTsmokeandcure.com
