This looks delicious. Any recipe or link to how/what you did? I’d love to try making my own bacon.
Np link since it’s a home recipe, but happy to share!
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar 1/2 Cup Black Pepper 1/3 Cup Kosher Salt 3 Tablespoon Paprika 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder 1.5 Teaspoon of pink curing salt
We use these ratio per 5 lbs of pork belly.
We cure the meat for 4 days in the fridge, and usually once or twice a day flip the meat / rustle the meat around in the cure.
After 4 days we smoke the cured meat on a wood pellet smoker. We smoke it at 200-225 degrees Fahrenheit until it probes at 15g degrees Fahrenheit.
From there it’s good to slice and fry / bake as you please. 😁
Sorry, that should say “until it probes 155 degrees” xD
Thanks for sharing! Gonna have to try this.
It looks delicious.
Have you ever tried making it from fatback?
We have not. We opted for pork belly due to its higher meat content, since we both prefer meatier bacon. But I’d definitely like to give it a shot!
Makes sense. You should definitely try it if you feel up to it. In my culture fatback bacon is so common that it has a separate name to differentiate it from other types (and it also has a distinctly different taste).
