I cut a full fresh side in half about 14 days ago. Put them down in cure, one with a celery powder in place of cure 1 then the other was my normal cure of 1.5% salt, .25% cure 1 and .5% sugar with garlic and black pepper for aromatics.
The bottom one is the celery cure.
Here is a cut shot of the celery.
Here is a fry shot, the long pieces top of the pan are celery the little pieces are standard cure.
The celery is good, but the boys and I prefer the regular cure while the wife prefers the celery cure. They are both good but to me cure #1 is still king.
