NIce job Jim. Rick sure puts out a great pork belly. I gave all the bacon out for Christmas gifts,time to make some more.
Did you notice any difference doing it 11days? (salty?). I do mine for 5-6 days.I did not wash it long enough and it was salty.
I heard to long in the rub can also make it salty.
I followed Bob C.recepie.
Once you make your own,you will never go back to store bacon.
