LarryR Bacon Cook Video

[LarryR]

Did some bacon this week and thought I'd share the video. Nothing real detailed, just the cook, didn't show curing process, probably should have, maybe next time -

Here are few pics for those who don't want to watch the video:

After 8 days of curing

Sliced a couple pieces to try


Frying-up!

What did you brine the pork belly for 8 days in?
I want to give this a try

No brine, did a cure using Morton's TQ, pure maple syrup on one and brown sugar on the other one. I honestly cannot believe how easy this was. Already thinking of different variations. Also you can't beat the cost. I think I picked-up the bellies for $2.79 a lb. What a deal for some pretty incredible bacon.

[Tim McCann]

Looks fantastic Larry! Larry, is it still curing if you don't use salt?

 

[Mike Coffman]

Excellent bacon Larry!

 

[Mike Cosgrove]

That's exactly how I did mine, it is super easy.

Larry - outta-the-park! That looks delicious! All I've tried is pork butt bacon (aka buckboard bacon)…I wonder if the Hi Mountain Buckboard Bacon cure would work with pork bellies…

Did it taste as delicious as it looks?!?

Looks out of this world!!! Just added one more to the bucket list.

You guys never cease to amaze me.

Tim I'm no expert but I don't think it is, but again, I just started curing so I could be wrong.

Did it taste as delicious as it looks?!?

Yes it did. Had a very nice breakfast this morning.

Cut into meal size packages (didn't slice), vac sealed and threw in the frezzer. I'm considering going and getting four more bellies and experimenting with different flavors. Not sure what I thought of the pecan, I think apple would be better or maybe some sugar maple next time.
