Butts were on sale for $0.99/lb last week and I messed up only buying one.
Deboned into 3 pieces, into the brine on the 5th. Low-salt (1/8c/qt), just a tiny bit of maple syrup for sugar, and a lot (1/4c?) of white pepper which has become a staple in my brines.
First chunk was diced and fried...
Ok, I am going to have to step up my game and get back to basics. Past few years I have been doing these the lazy way, just stuffing halves from a container of pimento cheese spread and wrapping with bacon. I used to do peppers in a pepper upright rack with holes by stuffing with good stuff in...
I'm in for the ride!
I don't have an exact answer on your curing question, but this thread has become my curing bible so to speak...hope it helps!

It's just my opinion, but it could get a little sweet with that combo, I'm not sure if...
Yep I forgot to say butt or buckboard in the title. Pop's low(est?) saltalmost no sugar or substitute besides maybe a half tsp per quart of water, and I always put some white pepper in
When I was keto I pretty much lived on the following
Ribeyes
Bacon
Pork sausage
Cheese
Sour cream
Jalapenos and poblano pepper
Butter
Avocado
And I lost weight. Both in my body and in my wallet. But God dang I ate like a king.
I ate until I was full. Back then, I could eat a LOT...
I can say that Aldi's thick cut bacon is pretty dang good. I tried both the pepper coated, and the maple bacon. Both were very good. And 24oz. for about $5 bucks, dang good price too. I now have 6 cups of bacon grease. Time for more Baconnaise (Homemade Bacon Mayonnaise)!
Homemade Habanero Bacon: Because plain pork bellies are for amateurs.
Sweet, smokey and absolutely ruthless!
I ran out on my guys golf trip and when had some CO friends visiting. Time for another belly. Also got to try out the new to me slicer. Oh my what a game changer. It is so nice to be...
Had a bunch of pork loin we picked up on sale and wanted to do something special with some of it so decided to cure and smoke it.
Cured it for 7 days adding garlic and black pepper. Gave it a good rinse, patted dry and put back in the fridge naked to form the pellicle. I planned for 8 hours...
Yeah buddy! Looks good, I love pork belly, bacon rules but sometimes I like to hot smoke a slab with black pepper and a blend of maple syrup and a good soy sauce for dinner.
Good job!
EXCELLENT BACON !
You do not need a slicer !
Invest in a good set of knifes, they last a lifetime !

Let it cool to use as a binder
Hi everyone! Had a little fun today and a tasty dinner!
This is a recipe that I developed from scratch over the last few years though the rub is a recipe from a site called Smoked Meat Sunday.
Chop up a jalapeño pepper and mix it with 6 oz of cream cheese and half a cup of sour cream.
I...

8 oz of sour cream
12 oz mayo
6 oz mince garlic

It's of my own creation...
I usually make this in a cast iron skillet that can go in the smoker at 250F for 90 minutes, but they can also be made in the crock pot on low for about 4 hours
BEANS
6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1 large shallot diced
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons...
Pretty much Dutch's but with a little tweaking. Cut the amount of bacon in half and substitute with a links worth of chourico chunks. Minus the jalapenos as the spiciness is substituted because we use Melindas habenero and ghost pepper ketchup and sometimes I'll add a little "magic dust" if I...
Broke in Steve's board making
Zrazy Zawijane, aka Rouladen.
Meant to make this last weekend, but events got in the way..
Board is awesome for pounding meat.
Started with some "been rouladen" from the commissary, but the pieces were very irregular in shape, so had to go with what I had...
This is what I use and have had nothing but good feedback from. In fact, when I make this, it's all my youngest will eat...she won't even touch the brisket or pork, she'll just sit with a big ass bowl of beans and a smile on her face.
Ingredients
10 slices bacon, chopped
1 yellow onion...
Side dished are never the star of the show...but they still deserve our attention.
With that in mind, here is my recipe for Cuban rice and beans.
1. Make 1 cup of white rice.
2. Chop and fry up some bacon. (If you have salted pork, use that instead)
3. Add 1/2 a medium and onion, diced...
I did a 19 pound load of Canadian bacon today. The family loves Bearcarver's recipe. This takes me to 360 pounds of it over the years. Dry brined it with Morton Tender Quick, sprinkled it with garlic pepper seasoning and smoked it with a blend of apple and pecan pellets. Didn't get any in the...
