First time doing bacon. Did 2% salt 1% dark brown sugar and .35% Cure #1. Cut the slab into 4 pieces, weighed the spices and rubbed, and bagged them. Sitting in the fridge now.
Slabs look great. I wouldnt worry about them spots.
Thanks Disco. It's VERY good. Saran wrapped it this morning and into the freezer it went to sleep until I get my slicer (this week) and get them sliced up.
I'm with cfarmer. I get the spots occasionally but they have never affected the bacon and I ignore them.
Terrific looking bacon!
