Split 3 bellies 30lb's into appprox 2.5 lb pieces.


Mixed the rub for 5 lbs per 2 pieces pretty simple 1 tsp cure, 1/2 cup kosher salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, & 1tbs pepper.

Laid out a piece of plastic wrap & coated with honey.




Spread approx 1/3 of the rub over the honey the add one slab of belly, coat with honey & spread another 1/3 of rub.



Repeat with another 2.5 lb piece.


Repeat for the remaining pieces then seal them all off & into the fridge for 10 to 14 days...will update in a couple of weeks.

This is my go to bacon.

Nice! That looks so good I'm gonna to try this on my next batch. When you say "seal them all off & into the fridge for 10 to 14 days" do you vacuum seal or just baggie them up?

I have done both these are just in ziplock bags I will turn them every 3 days & rotate them as they are all in the bottom drawer of the fridge.
