Fry tested. I'm leaving it alone. Nice flavor with nice amount of heat.

Turned out ok. Definitely not my best. I think I had too much cayenne pepper. Not too much heat, too much pepper flavor if you know what I mean.... anyways, I ran into the commissary today, and they had pork belly for $1.63 a pound, so picked up 10 pounds..... mixed up some Pop's brine and curing them now.....

These were good. Going to add some F-LC culture to these the next time I make them for some tang

Thanks. I don't know but it definitely has something to do with the pepper flavor. I bought it at a bulk food store, as opposed to the name brands I normally use.
