Title: Bacon curing question
Post by: bears fan on May 24, 2011, 07:04:56 PM
So I have 8 pounds of belly curing and 4 pound of loin for bacon that i was planning on smoking this weekend, but as luck has it I am going to have to work this weekend due to flooding issues on the Missouri River.  So, my question is this....can I refreeze this and smoke later because I will not have time for a while?

I would just let it keep curing, i took 3 loins and cured them one 7 days one 14 and one 21 the 21 day was by far the best so just my 2 cents ;D

I've had some curing for 17 days before smoking and no trouble.
