This has been a 4 year long side mission - project "Sunday Morning Bacon'
Trouble has been that I was only doing a revised cure every now and again when I got a moment, so each time it was wrong (to my taste) and needed amending it would be a couple of months before I got to taste the new effort - which was also invariably wrong too.
But truth is I am now happy!
1 Kg fresh pork belly
30g Fresh (fine) ground Coffee (Nicaraguan as it happens)
