Good job.  Looks great.  Been a long time since I have done that.

[mike89]

looks darn good!!! 

[Bobberineyes]

Dang those look good boar. Yep it's been too long this away also lps! Was it a wet brine or dry boar?

[Boar]

Yup a syrup, sugar, salt type mixture on slab i used jalapeno juce to see ifnthat adds a zingy.

[LPS]

Ok you talked me into it.  I'm gonna get me a chunk of pork belly.  I saw it advertised here at the local meat market.

Did someone mention "jalapeno"?

That is a great idea TT.  Never thought about it before.  We freeze them to use for soups etc.  I may put a few in my brine.  They are soft when thawed but still have some heat.  I can't get too wild with it or the wife won't want any.  WAIT, then there would be more for me.

[glenn57]

  so... what are you trying to tell us LPS .. your all the HOT your wife can handle! 

[LPS]

That is sure a good way to put it.  LOLOL

[Scenic]

That bacon looks good.  This is my favorite time of the year to make bacon.

[LPS]

Boar do you have a slicer?

[LPS]

Mine should arrive on Wed along with the dehydrator.      I mixed up the brine for the belly and was looking all over for the #1 pink salt and couldn't find it.  Glad I didn't open the belly cryopac.  Again, good ol Amazon will drop it off on Wed.  Called every store in town and noone had it. Have a nice rack of baby backs rubbed for some action tomorrow. 

[mike89]

tender quick will work too

[LPS]

I wondered about that.

[mike89]

I wondered about that.

I'm going to use it on some pork tenderloins real soon!!

Does your wife approve of this prior to ordering? Probably is this a ask for forgiveness rather then permission?

I remember that conversation at Noma lake!

[LPS]

    Oh ya we both enjoy the wheeling and dealing.  You aren't going to believe this.  She said is that all it costs?  I thought it would be more than that.      SO I canceled that order and I am back in shopping and research mode for a nicer one.      I am kind of in shock.  She likes the idea of cooking our own meat and slicing it up.  And then making jerky and dried fruits and stuff.  I'm all in and it does sound fun. Gathering.

[mike89]

mine is a food saver type, works great!!

 Not to be confrontational any way but  Pink cure Insta Cure #1 contains salt and 6.25% sodium nitrite.   Tender Quick contains salt, sugar, 0.5% sodium nitrite, and 0.5% sodium nitrate, as well as propylene glycol.  Tender quick is designed to be used for things that are cured for short period of time.    Both have their place and uses. 

When making bacon I soak or cure my bellies at least 10-14 days depending on how thick they are.  The pink cure kills any bacteria that could result from the brining process as well as while smoking at low temps.
