Hi all!! Just picked up a fresh pork belly and I want to start the 7 day cure process this weekend. I asked the butcher if he had any Cure #1. But he said he was all out. where I live the closest place to get it is a hour plus drive. Now my buddy gave me a packet of Cure from some kits he has. I didn't open yet so I don't know if it's pink. But would that Cure be ok to use? Or would Tender Quick be ok?
I'm doing Maple bacon with dry rub. Brown sugar, Real Maple Surup what else would I add any salt or sugar? I have a 3.5lb slap of pork belly. Thanks!!!
