1).Remove meat from salt/sugar mix. (The dry mixture that was packed around the meat turned soupy by the end of the week.)
The top layer came off in crusty chunks.
2) Rinse the meat in cool water to remove any residue.
3) Cut the bacon into thin slices.
I added one more step... DO AN IMMEDIATE TASTE TEST!!!
Although it was very salty (Soaking the meat in cold water for at least an hour will reduce the salt level), it was unbelievably good.
I didn't really have much confidence in this recipe a week ago. It was more a "why not?" when I actually took the step to order the pork belly. But... with results like this? I will definitely do this again... and again...
Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

Wow. Will have to try this when I get my hands on some pork belly. It looks fantastic. I got on google the other night and have been researching ways to get pork belly . . . with some interesting tactics. I hope one or more of them work for me. I want this recipe when I finally do acquire some.

You are something...very brave.....I bet it is wonderful...I love bacon....maybe I will give it a try...
I have missed you; so glad to be back in the blogging world again....
Still growing your own wheat in the backyard huh?
Wish you would quit raising the bar for how impressive my cooking needs to be for your son....I'll NEVER reach this one. But we can always just eat it at your house....
:-) Love ya Barb! Keep up the good work!
To anyone who thinks that this was a task too hard to try... it was so easy I'm ashamed to accept any credit at all!
And this bacon is free of any nitrites/nitrates!
