Hey guys. Just pulled out a slab after about 12 days of curing. When I started the cure I realized I had about. 1/2 teaspoon to little of my pink salt. At about day 8 I added. The rest of it when I finally got my hands on some. Usually I'll let the belly cure for about 7- 9 days but the skin is still on so I figured I'd need a few more. When I pulled it out today it looks like this
What's going on? Nitrite burn? You'll see on the side where I didn't apply the supplemental dose of curing salt that the fat is nice and white. Any help is appreciated.
