International Bacon Day

cdavis dry rub is easy to do. Its just a matter of finding the right price on that pork belly.
GWG8541 bellies are hard to find here locally but when they do have them I can buy bacon just as cheap or cheaper.

cdavis same here, I got lucky when I found this belly. The cost and work is worth it. Like everything we make, it tastes a lot better than store bought.

GWG8541 I think I’ll just get the next belly I see and at least get in a practice run.

GWG8541 I’ll probably be hitting you up for detailed instructions when I get one.

cdavis No problem, glad to help. I basically followed the instructions on the Meatjistics learning center on “How to make Homemade Dry Rub Bacon.” There is also a video on there from Jonathon and Austin on the subject. After reading the comments alot of people complained that it was too salty. I realize this could be anything from personal taste to not following all the steps and instructions along the way. I triple soaked mine after curing and for my taste it was not salty at all. It tasted great and I was really happy with how it turned out. I did add course black pepper from Walton’s to over half before smoking/drying and wished I would have peppered it all. Good luck on the search for the bellies.

GWG8541 did the pepper stay on pretty good.

cdavis you can also google Steven Raichlen’s ‘‘made from scratch bacon’’. thats the recipe I use and really enjoy it
kyle thank you sir I’ll give that a look.

cdavis the pepper stayed on real well. You are applying it to the belly before drying so the moisture holds it on pretty good.

GWG8541 the peppered bacon is the first to go here. I apply a coarse grind after soaking and let it dry overnight before smoking. I do the same with my Canadian Bacon.

kyle that’s alright. I bookmarked it and can Google it when I’m ready.

GWG8541 when I get my belly I’m going to pepper it like that. It looks great.

Be sure to remember that tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 4 is International Bacon Day. I plan to celebrate myself with a bacon cheeseburger.

JohnG5 Should have made some dove and jalapenos wrapped in bacon, always good.
