Boxing Day bacon

[DanG123]

just sharing...
This is a "left-over" tip of a really nice belly I made a few months ago (nearly forgot it was in the freezer).

2.5% cure (50/50 Salt/Sugar)+Spices+.025%#1
12Day cure.
Light Molasses brush w/ overnight dry.
220F for a bit, give or take...

pardon the bag in the last photo--i got so involved, i forget to take a picture of the freshly cut..

reporting back: bacon and eggs last few days have been amazing!

and the neighbors are enjoying too!

Always makes me happy when guys who I know BBQ are amazed at the thought of actually curing and smoking bacon that comes out amazing :)

Really great that it turned out good for you and that you and friends are enjoying it!
