This summer, we welcomed 8 new employees as part of our College Program at Crest Foods. They join the 12 employees who are currently in the program. Through the college program, Crest Foods pays the student’s in-dis- trict tuition to an Illinois community college in exchange for part-time, paid employment. Currently, students are spending three nights a week working on Crest’s second shift in production, while also working toward their degrees at Sauk Valley Community College, Kishwaukee Community College, and Northern Illinois University. While students work part-time during the school year, they are also guaranteed full time employment during the summer months while they are active in the program. New to the program are: Alex Breckenfelder, Rachel Guer- rero, Ahllam Khattab, Owen Male, Ritchie Sarabia, Alanna Thomas, Selena Valdez and Yenifer Tenorio. Welcome to Crest Foods!
Grilling with Jeff: Smoked Bourbon Pig Candy! by Jeff Karas, Engineering Electrician
Ingredients: 1 lb or more of original or thick sliced bacon
1/4 cup bourbon 1/2 cup of rub
1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup maple syrup
2 TBS honey
Directions: Mix all ingredients (except the bacon) well in a small bowl. Get your smoker up to 240-250 degrees and place your bacon onto Bradley racks or right onto the smoker grates. (I placed a disposable aluminum pan on the lowest rack to catch any drippings and makes for easier cleanup.) Cook for 45-60 minutes. Next, brush the glaze on both the top and bottom on the bacon and set a timer for 30 minutes. Repeat this step 1 more time. (I use a long-handle silicone brush.) Once they are done, pull them off quickly and place on wax paper to cool. If you are too slow they will stick! A lot of my recipes are from The Smoking Meat Newsletter. By coincidence, the guy’s name is Jeff, and he has a website that sells his rub recipes and sauce – they are awesome! I like to put my own twist on them for my particu- lar taste buds, and you can too. Happy Smoking!
