First time to have a go

[johnfb]

No problems.
I am being very overprotective of my pork in the fridge right now as this is the first time doing it and I am trying to cover all the bases.
thanks

Oh my God, what a result!

Everything perfect, Dave, your instructions were spot on.

Here they are



just out of the fridge



Slicing with my new (suprise) slicer. My sister bought it for me...I think she might be looking for some of these great rashers



26 rashers from 1 kilo of pork. Huge saving...huge taste.I also got a bag of bacon bits from the left overs at the end.
My wife, my sharpest critic, thinks they are fab.

1 kilo of loin cost me �7.99.
A packet of rashers in Dublin will cost about �4.99 for 5 decent back rashers...so huge savings and no white stuff comming from them when cooking.

A rasher filled future...yeah....
Wht was I so scared of doing this...it so easy....


Happy Birthday Dave. Thanks for the help and guidance as well as everyone else.

going to try some red hot marmalade bacon is this a good idea!

What is it??

[bogoiler]

it's a marmalade made from chile's and pepper's it's nice but has a bit of a kick its more like a pickle but for some reason it's called marmalade!!!!!
