Long story short, I defrosted a couple bellies, thinking I'd make them into pancetta. But I failed to realize how big they are and figured it'd would be too much pancetta, so decided to turn one slab into bacon.
Problem is...it won't be cured by this weekend (I'm doing a dry cure), so can't smoke it, which brings us to the following weekend. That's nearly two weeks, which I think is too long for a cure.
a) is it?
b) can I rinse it off and leave it in the fridge for a couple of days?
c) any suggestions?
