Prep Time: 15 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 1 pound cured pork belly
Ingredients:
1 cup salt
1 cup sugar
2 oz. honey
3 Tbsp. mustard powder
1 lb. pork belly
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine salt and sugar.
Spread honey evenly over pork belly, then coat with mustard.
Spread the salt and sugar mixture generously over the mustard.
Place into a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 3 days.
After three days have passed, remove the pork from the brine, rinse the belly, and pat dry with paper towels.
Lay on a rack over a sheet pan and place in front of a fan for 1 hour to form a pellicle.
Cold smoke for 4 to 6 hours.
Chill the meat in the freezer for 1 hour to stiffen for easy slicing into strips of bacon.
Slice what you need and keep the remainder in a freezer safe bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
Suggested Cooking Method:
Place the strips of bacon onto a sheet pan fitted with a rack and place into a cold oven. Turn the oven to 400° F. and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your bacon. Remove from rack and drain on paper towels. Enjoy.
