organic Berkshire bellies. Maybe my best yet. Just took some to the neighbors. That's my favorite
part. Its like they want to hug me every time I see them for weeks.

I would love to, but beer and fried shrimp are making me sink into the sofa. Had to run to depot earlier, decided I deserved a taco from Valentina's and they had a sign up - closed all day, but they were there, smokers going. Not cool.
That bacon does look special. -

this is is really good. We can't stop eating all the little bits and scraps. Charcuterie maple bacon recipe but we leave a few things out. No juniper or garlic. We never have juniper (even though I do right now) and even though I love garlic, it comes across too strong for me in bacon. Nutmeg is the secret bacon ingredient.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

That is a great looking snack. I think salt got the better of Mike and I on our little bellies we did. I'd like to try again with a full sized slab like that.(now only 16 stone)

Looks awesome. Have you tried it without pink salt? I have done it that way my last 3 bellies and I can't really tell the difference. My wife thinks pink salt is bad and I have to pick my battles. I may go back to it next time for another comparison. Just curious. Thanks.XL,L,SWinston-Salem, NC

@Hi54putty not much nitrite is left after the cure is done. As centex notes, plenty more occurs naturally.
as for leaving it out you can but its not bacon. It's just fried, brined pork. here is a side by side that I did recently. Easy to tell visually and taste wise which didn't have pink salt:
