It's been a while since I've made any bacon but I found some nice pork bellies at my sams club and I was so excited because they have never had them and I check every time I'm in there. So I measured out my cure and figured the right amount of days. BUT I misread the recipe and did 1/2 TBS per lb instead of 1 TBS per pound of tenderquick. I didn't realize it until today when I took it out to rinse it. I sliced to see if the cure had made it to the center and it had not. I added the rest of the tenderquick and put it back in the bag. So my question is now what? Is it ruined? Leave it for the right amount of days all over again? I really don't want to waste the bellies because they are impossible to find around me. What do I do?
