About

Bacon is fantastic. The combination of salt, sugar, aromatics and time transform a simple pork belly into the best start to the day. For those that enjoy the ritual of a carefully constructed bacon sandwich, this recipe may be the gateway into the world of curing, and it will certainly elevate any bacon sandwich to another level. It’s also a process that can be done with children over the course of a week or so.
