Just cut open my Capicola ,
Cured 10 days.
Dried in UMAI Bag 7 1/2 weeks.
Very good , not salty , a fresh clean taste.
I do believe the traditionally cured dried has a more complex flavor.
I'll try 1.75 next time because I think I'm very close to Salt level I want
After taste testing a few more times besides the burnt bits I think the sugar in the cure tastes better ,
yes I weigh everything so now I have an excuse to make some more.
Thanks for the help

split a belly, one Dextrose 1.33% one white sugar 1%
Still got some burn/black on the sugar cured, not burnt crisp tasting more like over caramelized with bits in pan.
Tastes good but gotta watch it like a hawk while cooking.
Sugar top Dextrose bottom.
Only thing too salty for me, the wife...
Apple Juice ! good idea, I saw a Youtube of a English butcher cutting up a pork leg, said the pork he had was fed what was left over from making cider,
Hi, Dave good morning , I'm still deciding to debone or not, might make sausage out of one.
sounds like a plan to cut up and freeze. I will report back .
Thanks for the info.
