Looks pretty good!

Normal brine or curing brine? Cold smoked or hot smoked prior to freeze?

I love these things. First time we encountered them was on a vacation yrs back in the Dominican. Yummm. We then found a butcher who did them occasionally so we tried them. The last batch we got was sour tasting and have never been back. We kept a dozen to do from our pigs but have not been home long enough to get at yet. So this spring it will happen. I think I have the basic principle on this. But do you have any tips or suggestions?
