Could be salt. Because I paid $9, can you find it somewhere cheaper than $9 FMB?
I ordered it from that link I just posted. |

It was the salt. I like $13.50 a pound a lot better than I like $9 for a quarter pound. Part of this, for me, is to make it at least a somewhat cost effective alternative to the crappy stuff we're now spending $4 and more a pound on, so every bit helps.

Nah..... First time is usually the learning time, and those things matter less. I'm just trying to get a head start and get right to it, because I really don't like the direction food prices have been going.
I was going to corn some briskets. I took one look at the price of the briskets, laughed, and decided that I'd stick with the commercially made corned beefs for about 1/3-1/4 the price. |

So I'm making bacon again, but I'm going to take part of this 12-pound belly and not cure/smoke it.
Any ideas for what to do with pork belly besides make it into bacon? |

Has anybody used raw sugar in the cure? I think that would be a good in a cure?
How about peppered bacon? |

Never used raw sugar. The last batch I did, I used maple sugar. And it was good, but that maple sugar is bloody expensive and there wasn't near enough maple flavor from it.

There's a relatively new BBQ joint here in Springfield called City Butcher &BBQ.
They have pork belly as a regular menu item. It tastes like heaven, but while I'm eating, it also tastes like I might just be eating raw hot bacon. Tasty though. |
