Newby here. I’m wanting to get the “All Natural Ham and Bacon Cure” to make some batches of beef bacon. Is the separate Celery Juice Powder an optional or a required ingredient? If it is an optional ingredient, what would be the benefit of adding it to the formula?

johnsbrewhouse Thank you! And something else I should have asked…the instructions call for tumbling for 3 hours but I don’t have a way to do that. Can I maybe hold it in the cure longer than just overnight?

RafterW johnsbrewhouse Thank you both so much! I ordered the ingredients and will be giving this a try very soon
