Thanks for the info. I'd planned to do this earlier in the (last) year, but something came up. It looks like I'll want to find a good price on the salt before trying it.

You cured it with brown sugar?

If you think it's better than maple, I'll try the brown.


Did you use light or dark?

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.

I bought a pound for $13.50 from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Didn't really get worried about the cost because a pound will be more salt than I can use in 10 years when you use one teaspoon at a time.

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.

I've thought about that. Was really wanting to something that didn't involve curing the belly, though.

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.
