I just made some. I use the CTR or buckboard bacon cures. I like to cure for a couple weeks.
After curing, rinse the salt off well.
I did a couple, so one I soaked in beer for a week before smoking and the other ones were a maple syrup/brown sugar/pepper mix.
I actually started out my homemade bacon perfecting on pork loins. Didn’t want to ruin that pork belly off the hop!
Good luck, it’s nothing but fun and you won’t ever want to buy store bought again!!
