Knows what a fatty is.
I came across a pork belly at the store yesterday and I snatched it up. I've always wanted to make my own bacon - but now that I have the belly I have no idea what to do.
I see the recipes call for pink salt/cure. I was wondering - does jerky cure also work? I have the belly in the fridge and if I need to order some of the cure online I'll need to freeze it or it'll go bad before I get the stuff shipped.
Also, anyone have any advice or favorite recipes to recommend?
Thank you.
