Pork belly burnt ends.....on a stick!

[radio]

I finally decided to try making PBBE's, but with a twist or two.
After they had good color and bark, I panned them with a few pats of butter and stirred to coat evenly. I then added 1/4 cup of honey to 3/4 cup of Jeff's bbq sauce and coated the chunks. I covered in foil and put back in the smoker for about two hours until they wre very tender. I drained and discarded the sauce, put the chunks on bamboo skewers and put directly on the grates for another 20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
They were out of this world good!!!!

That's allot of PBBEs you got and they look scrumptious.

Point for sure

Jealous. I happen to be in one part of the world where none of the local stores ever stock pork bellies. Kind of frustrating.

Wow, those really look good. Might have to give this a go!!

if you have a Sam's club or Costco within driving distance they usually have them. These were fantastic and a good change of pace, but I still prefer brisket burnt ends

Thank you. There weren't as many as it appears in the pics. The belly was a shade over 4 pounds and they shrink a LOT!

Thank you Chile. I was happy for the first time making them. I used Jeff's recipe as a base, but my friend who owns an incredible BBQ restaurant shared a couple of his secrets with me including his rub.

Closest Sam's or Costco is an hour away. Just have to live vicariously through you guys.

Those look very yum. We have a only one a year rule for pork belly around our house, they should be consider a controlled substance!!!!

Thanks. Yes, from Sam's club. This was one of the smaller ones, but was the leanest of them all. would have made superb bacon!

Yes, it's hard for us in Michigan. But it is worth the hour drive and the membership just for the good meat selection.

I do the same thing from Flint to Auburn Hills Costco :-)

One of the Kroger near me carry whole Berkshire pork belly for about $4.59 / lbs.
