help needed with bacon cure

Jim

Ah!, I should have mentioned that, the outside will look uncured, but when you slice the end off it better not do - otherwise I'm going into hiding!

Whatever happens no need for you to go into hiding as I baked your soft white rolls yesterday and they are the best soft white rolls I have ever tasted. I have the fullest confidence in the cure.I was just making a random observation I suppose I didnt know quite what to expect.

Many thanks Jim

Hey it's Ok for you Jim, but I'm sat here like an expectant father at the maternity home, waiting for the baby to arrive!

Thanks for the comment re soft rolls, if you do about 105 - 110gm pieces of dough they make a good beefburger bun.

Daddy!! Daddy!! Our bacon from a shoulder joint (I was trying to get what i think they call collar bacon where I used to live) one rasher cured with plain sugar the other with mucavado.I could barely taste the difference,but just preffered the muscavado.

The twins appear here with my pork leek apple and cider sausage and phils soft white roll.

Thanks so mutch Phil for all your help I am now definitley going to try a ham Might be able to get some Rare Breed next weekend and try Oddleys inject and rub cure.

So as ever another question
Where do get the sdium ascorbate.
Thanks again Jim.

PS

I'm not recommending any of the shop sites, it's just an example to show sodium ascorbate can be obtained.

Looks good Jim, I tried to lick the screen!

Sodium ascorbate is availabe here:

and here:

I got mine from the second link, they have an ebay shop, but it's currently out of stock.

You'll be fine with Oddley's recipe for the ham.
