Uncured Smoked Arkansas Style Bacon

Old Fashioned Shoulder Bacon This uncured smoked Arkansas bacon from Prairie Farmstead is made from pork shoulder, also known as Boston butt, instead of pork belly. Because it comes from the shoulder, it is meatier than traditional bacon, with a smoky, savory flavor that lands somewhere between classic bacon and smoked ham. It is especially good for breakfast, beans, greens, skillet meals, sandwiches, soups, or anywhere you want deep smoked pork flavor with a heartier bite. Not Your Usual Bacon Most bacon comes from the pork belly. Arkansas bacon comes from the pork shoulder, also known as Boston butt. That means it may look different, cook different, and eat a little heartier than the long, thin strips most people are used to.
