I see from the cure calc that with 5 lbs of belly it recommends 34 grams of sure but when I see others post their recipe they are using a lot larger amounts like 1/4 cup of maple sugar and 1/4 cup of maple syrup. I am not sure how many cups 34 grams is but tend to think that 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of syrup which are sugars must be far beyond 34 grams, that is unless I am incorrect.
I know how much one adds is personal preference but preference or not isn't a total of 1/2 cup of sugar (maple syrup contains sugar of course) a large amount compared to say the 34 grams that is recommended?
Thanks
