Maple Cured Bacon

[devo]

Got my two pork bellies yesterday, 12.7 lbs. This is skin off pork bellies @ 3.99 a lb. Found the price went up since March when I did this last, it was 2.30 a lb back then.

Two slabs of pork bellies



Got my dry ingredient's adjusted for 12.7 lbs and using Tenpoint5's recipe for maple bacon. Cut the two slabs in half so they are easier to work with.



Added the Canadian maple syrup to the dry and and mixed up real good.



Got them all rubbed down with the cure, brown sugar, salt and maple syrup. Using the big meat mixing tray sure helps on clean up later.  :)



Going to transfer them into a extra large ZipLock bag. I get them from wally world. They can handle large loads.



All sealed up and ready for the 7 day wait in the fridge. Flip and massage them once a day.
