    1st go - don't want to screw it up!

    Couldn't wait. Decided to remove the skin (I definitely need work on the knife skills) and toss em in the fridge. Doesn't look to bad I guess. Time for the salt/fry test...

    1st go - don't want to screw it up!

    So it's been a week and 3 days since I portioned the belly and put in in the wet cure. Took it out today and here's what I've got. I plan on leaving it in the fridge skin side down (since I didn't remove it beforehand) until Saturday when I'll skin it and smoke it. This look ok so far...

    Xmas Eve bacon wrapped basckstraps

    Crazymoon - I found this recipe online. I halved it since it fully covered the backstraps in a gallon size zip bag.

    Xmas Eve bacon wrapped basckstraps

    End result turned out delicious. Double wrapped in foil when done til it was time to eat then threw on the grill and crisped up the bacon. Perfect. Even the "non-venison" people loved it. Didn't have any pics of it slides because it didn't last that long!
