Title: Looking for a simple belly bacon recipe
Post by: EDinNB on July 18, 2011, 08:56:01 PM

I made the Maple Cured Bacone recipe posted by TenPoint5 and it did come out wonderful. I will be doing this one again, but one of my daughters (the professional chef) isn't a big fan of maple, so I'm looking for a basic salt/cure/sugar dry cure for my next belly and smoke it with apple bisquettes.

Thanks in advance, cause I know I will get the answer very soon, you are a great bunch here and thanks for everything.

Another option for a dry cure is to make a batch of Basic Cure (http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?441-Basic-Dry-Cure-Morton-s-Tender-Quick-substitute&p=691#post691). You don't have to make a full batch, you can cut the recipe in half or quarter it.

You can use it as is, applying 1 tablespoon per pound, or if you want it a little sweeter add a 1 teaspoon per pound of either brown or white sugar.
