Bacon


Mostly made belly bacon, but some back too

There was 6.5 kg of belly
50g of salt cure per kg
10g of sugar per kg
Bit of pepper
Bit of ground nutmeg

Maybe this is pancetta not bacon
3.3 kg of belly (this one skin on)
50g of cure per kg
10g of sugar oer kg
2 cloves of garlic 
tsp pepper
tsp ground nutmeg

Salted in bag stacked up pile of 4 pieces.
Put in fridge for 10 days (14 for the thicker back bacon)
Heroically sliced it all before freezing, as when frozen unsliced we don't eat it so often because it is a hassle to thaw the whole giant lump then slice it then refreeze some.

I hung up some of the Pancetta to dry for a couple of weeks as well

Yum
