I'm out of both so I picked up two very nice half bellies from Cash and Carry.
Belly #1 is on it's way to pancetta. I'm using Marianski's recipe for this one.
Belly #2 is in for cold smoked bacon. I added 1tbsp of black pepper, 2 tsp of granulated garlic and two crushed Bay leaves to the diggingdogs.com calculator. I also used brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Two weeks in the fridge then the pancetta will go into an UMAi bag and the bacon will be prepped for smoking.
