bacon notes for curing
Well i have been really busy. Just now i did the last of my processing from last season. Made about 100;bs of venison burger. This was me and two friends deer.
They had about 50 lbs of ground hog me made into sausage. I had all the bellies- rib meat and some neck meat defrosted i just cured.
Just cooked some this morning.
This is the best batch of bacon yet. For the curing i defrosted it patted dry salted ( pink salt & sea salt) Poured some maple syrup over it then placed in a large sealed tub and refrige for 7 days. every other day a shook the tub vigorously.
Now on day two i drained the fluids from the tubs and repeated a light salting and syrup.
Two tubs with about 5 to 8 lbs in
1/4 cup sea spoon on pink for fist salting per tub
light sprinkle next day.
Tonight i slice and pakage it.

Re: bacon notes for curing
Oh man, that looks great! I made some pancakes and eggs for my daughter yesterday and we were out of bacon!!! That's a rare occurrence at my house. That would have made the breakfast.

Re: bacon notes for curing
If you looking for how to make bacon or pork it on the hub pages look for how to make ham the next page is bacon.
Re: bacon notes for curing
Ted you posted a link for that on another forum. I tried it and the hams are simple to do and come out awesome if you follow the recipe. Ive done about a dozen since then and everybody loves it. Un smoked and sliced and fried or slow cooked in the oven there better than store bought . Makes me look at them ole hogs in a whole different way.TerribleTed wrote:If you looking for how to make bacon or pork it on the hub pages look for how to make ham the next page is bacon.
