Hi,
I got 12lbs of pork belly from my supermarket and put it in pop's cure. I was planning to leave it in for 7-10 days, but I got called away from home and I just got back. I'd guess it's been sitting in a fridge at 38degrees in pop's cure for 21 days. I actually forgot when I put it in.
Today I dumped out the wet cure, washed it off, and I'm soaking it in some water. It doesn't smell bad, but should I even bother smoking it? Is it dangerous to eat or serve to friends? I probably only spent $36 on the meat.
Thanks!
