Well Dew I just texted the wife and asked her to pick me up a big rack of St. Louis spares if she goes to town.  And RH how long do you cook your country styles in the crock pot?

[Boar]

C bacon done right

[Reinhard]

I must of had them in there for about 6 hours.  Put the country ribs on the bottom and then made the kraut with the bacon and put that on top.  Then put beef broth near the top of the crock pot, added the garlic and black pepper and turned the crock pot on low and let her go.  The country ribs fell apart but sure ate good.  I got the whole recipe for the German gumbo on my site in the recipe page that adds the potatoes, ham hocks, polish and more than this time around.  good lucck.

Mowed late mower broke down an needed some welding.So I had BLT's minus the T just my cottage bacon italian style and lettuce on toast with mayo. and Teriyaki noodles for a side.Love the fat in  bacon! any pork fat is my fav!

[delcecchi]

cottage bacon?  Italian Style?  Is that like pork butt made like Pancetta?   Sounds really good.

Man we are eating well today guys.  lol  I just ate 3 thick slices of my bacon and it is awesome.  The last batch I did the dry rub and that was fun to do and tasted good.  This is what I did in the Pop's Brine.  This is the way I will do it from now on.  Fantastic.  All I did was a quick rinse when I took it out patted it dry and let it sit for an hour or two before I put it on the smoker.  Just the right amount of sweet and salt to it.  Perfect.

Boy thats a purddy lookin belly LPS. What flavor smoke did ya put on it?

[dew2]

Yes it is Lota fennel,abit a anise,red pepper flakes.Thyme,Oregano.I think thats all.I hang it for a month or sometimes more.If you can time when spring is in the air and trees are in bloom they will add another flavor depth.We have basswood that smell oh so sweet and if I can hit the right timing thats my favorite time to hang it. In the pic on right is loin, Molasses cure. Middle is standard pancetta cured loin and left is the Butt Italian flavored cure

Plans changed.....we are having venison spaghetti and garlic bagels tonight. ....

So how long are you going to let those chunks of meat hang Dew?  So the temp doesn't matter?

[The General]

How do you keep the flies off those slabs?

[glenn57]

they add the flavor!!

[dew2]

30 days seems best for me,As long as they are cured and oxygen cant enter the meat they are fine.If you try it put a pan under them they drip,Which is the idea to concentrate flavor.I do em spring and fall when its cooler,Spring being the best for me.

 General I do em in a screened in porch, OR if hung in a open area spray with 50/50 mix vinagar water then rub course black pepper on em.Bugs wont touch the pepper

[Boar]

might have to give that a try.

[dew2]

The day I hang them is depending on if I can get Glenn57 to stop by.When does the flies follw him home in hoards!!

I been tryin to make good pizza sauce fer years!! All failers,We buy Contadina in squeeze bottles now,In the bottle you can refrigerate and save left over easier than cans.
 I'll put the dough recipe up in the recipe section soon.
 I'll be makin a pizza soon Menards had sundried maters on sale last week 10oz oil packed jar for 2.69 we got 6.Never seen sundried maters for less that 8 bucks for 4 oz!!! Course these are made for american tastes in sunflower oil rather than olive oil.It states on the jar made in Italy for the american market.I opened one and their really good!! They may be onsale yet if anyone wants to check em out?
