    Help with first time bacon.

    Side question, I've had my cure#1 for a little over a year now. I've stored it in a ziploc or vacuum sealed bag. It seems clumpy . If I remember right, it has been like that since I purchased it. Is there a way to know if it's still okay. 🤔 Hopefully this doesn't come back to bite me after...

    Help with first time bacon.

    Help with first time bacon.

    Okay, questions, Sugar, is that brown sugar, plain Ole sugar or does it matter? Salt, course kosher or table salt? I already have cure #1. It's a bit over a year old but I keep it vacuum sealed. Would it benefit in any way if the belly is seasoned then vacuum sealed for the 14 days? Thanks...
