I still have some of the pancetta I made a while back.  Good stuff!!  Are you rolling or using as a slab?  I did one of each.

Since you're curing first, are you using cure #1 or are you still using Cure #2?

Thanks Y'all

I added a pinch of red pepper after i ground the spices. Also 2 star anise in the grind.

All ground. The salt and cure mix i didnt get a pic of.



All sides rubbed with the cure/salt and aromatics. Covered and in the fridge for 7 days, will flip in 2 days.

Will you be draining the moisture every day or be letting it sit in the juices?  I would like to see photos of the progress every day to see how it is doing.  I am very interested in this project and want to learn as much as I can.  You are the path leader my friend, opening new pathways of adventure.
