Bacon to feed a house of Rooks.



What are your favorite pork belly recipes? This is a standard cure, with brown sugar.

What cut of belly is that in the lower/right in the pic ? Never seen a belly striated like that !

Now that I look at it more it reminds me of a muscle out of the shoulder, love shoulder bacon.

I use a pretty traditional cure with ratios from Digging Dog Farm calculator....6.25% cure #1 Prague, 2% salt and 1.5% Turbiano sugar.

I use a wet brine with salt, brown sugar, and Prague powder (using the Amazing Ribs Calculator). Then smoke with equal parts apple and hickory.

I vac-packed it all, and have it cooling for the upcoming trip.

If you have never made your own bacon, pancetta or hams it is well worth the time spent.

It was a chunk that was in the sealed packet that came with the pork belly. I am betting it is from the shoulder used to bring that package up to a specific weight.

My local grocer slices them about an inch thick/squarish, leaves the length alone, and sells them as pork steaks/strips. $4.99 a pound.

Great on the grill!!!

Great looking bacon. I've done a dry cure and wet brine with the digging dog calculator and prefer the wet brine bacon.

Our favorite use of pork belly is in a Japanese pork miso soup similar to this one: https://www.justonecookbook.com/tonjiru/

Was that's Lead Bellys cousin? I vaguely remember watching him play at the House of Blues back in the 20's Wink
