    Homemade Bacon

    I cured 50# of pork bell for 14 days, spent most of yesterday smoking them and the sliced and vacuum sealed for about 3 hours today. It’s a labor of love but definitely worth it.

    Here is the first half.

    Absolutely worth it Trav. Anyone who has not tried homemade or uncured fresh bacon has missed out.

    Looks delicious. Did you make any adjustments to the recipe from the last one?

    I did, more black pepper and replaced the white sugar with brown sugar. I like this a little better.
