Since my first round of BBB went well, my family was demanding more. I hope my first round wasn't a fluke cuz I have 20 lbs sitting in the fridge!
I was able to find 3 fresh cut 6-7 lb butts at a local grocer. Bigger than I usually see. Deboning went ok, they cut one of the butts a little differently and it made it butterfly a whole lot prettier :).
I mixed the cure and seasonings and gave them a good rub down and bagging them. I almost forgot the sugar!!! I vacuum sealed them this time since I was out of gallon Ziplocs and I just bought a new toy - a V3845 Foodsaver :) I love that thing! I sealed them on "moist" mode. I hope this doesn't make a difference in the curing process/time. ???
The meat has been in the fridge since Saturday. My wife made fun of me last night for "massaging my meat", lol...
Saturday is the day! I hope it turns out as good as my first batch!
Sorry no pics yet.... guess I could've included some pics of the butterflied meat but it was getting late and I was getting tired of washing my hands every time I turned around! lol
Have a good one, ya'll. If you haven't tried BBB, I strongly encourage it. Warning though - if you do you'll soon end up at the store buying copious amounts of pork butt!
