Salt cured bacon

[brewbama]

I decided to try salt cured bacon @ 1 TBS per lb (no nitrites/nitrates). These bellies are ~8.5 lb each. I’ll slice each in half, bag em up, and use a 1/2 C of light brown sugar in each bag for balance. In 10 days I’ll smoke it. We’ll see.

I ended up giving three pieces to my son and I kept one. I smoked it today

I've still got one of these in my freezer, 2 yrs later. Need to make some bacon potato soup or something.
