Hello all new guy here ! Not new to smoking though :)
So I finally decided to try making my own bacon using pops recipe (I added 2TBS pepper corn 1TBS chilli pepper flake 1TBS granulated garlic) I pulled it out after a week in the fridge just to test it and sliced and fried a piece and it is way to sweet! aside from it being fried pork still and not bacon yet ! My question is will the sweetness go down ? Is this normal ? Did I do it right or wrong and if wrong can it be fixed? I appreciate any help .
Thanks Mason
Edit: I forgot to mention I’m trying to wet cure 10lbs of pork belly that I cut in half .
