Need help with bacon jerky

[jusmejim]

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on making "bacon jerky". We recently had a pig butchered and we're not really happy with the bacon. I'm not sure if it was cured or smoked (or both), but it pretty much has no taste at all. The bacon itself is about 50% meat and 50% fat.

Does anyone have a recipe as to how this could be turned into "jerky"?

I’ve never made bacon jerky but I will bump this back up to the top so someone who knows might see it.

Pork belly is to fatty to make jerky. The fat will become rancid over time, and doesn’t dry well. Best to just make bacon, and we can help you with that task.
