Lynne's Bacon
« Reply #-1 on: May 02, 2013, 02:07:00 PM »
Started curing a 5.5 pound section of pork belly today using:
1 T Morton's TenderQuick/lb of pork belly
1 t granulated garlic/lb
1 t granulated onion/lb

Mixed in 6 t fennugreek, 4 t cracked black pepper, and 5 crushed bay leaves.





It is now in a cold fridge, below 40 F for the next 5 days and it will be flipped over every day.

Part 2 to follow:)

Bacon, you cannot have enough.

You never said, are you a Leafs fan?

Oooh, I like that mix of seasonings. That fenugreek will give it a good maple flavor!

Lynne..could you do that without the fenugreek? I'm not really into maple flavor. But I love the pepper your using and would probably use a lot more of it. I love peppered bacon.  Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ

Pam, I could live without the fenugreek, at least once ;D. I might just try that pepper bacon as I do like pepper :)
