Hi Lance,
I added a tablespoon of dark brown sugar. I've no idea if this is the correct amount, it looked right if you get my drift. I did a kilo of belly pork by the way. I checked it this morning, it's vac packed in the fridge, and it is a lovely colour. I'm hoping to achieve something close to a local bacon I can get here, called Norfolk black smoked bacon. It's one of the best bacons I've bought, but it comes at a price. However, I don't buy bacon anymore!
Vinner, I did consider using maple syrup, which I have, but thought it would be difficult to administer a liquid. Now you mention maple sugar I will look out for it.
Cheers
Jen
