This bacon turned out AMAZING! Its cheaper than buying storebought bacon and it tastes SO much better making it yourself!! You definitely want to give this a try!!

Recipe, Curing Salt Link and Maple Syrup Link below:

What you'll need

3.5 pound pork belly (give or take a half of a pound)
1 cup of packed brown sugar
2.5 tablespoons of kosher salt
1.5 tablespoons of black pepper
.5 teaspoons of cinnamon
1.25 teaspoons of Pink Curing Salt
1 Cup of your favorite Maple Syrup

Steps:

Get your pork belly completely thawed in the refrigerator.
Remove from packaging and completely pat dry (remove the skin if it came with it....you can also ask your butcher to remove the skin for you). Set belly aside.
In a one gallon zip lock freezer bag, add the brown sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon, curing salt and syrup all together and mix well.
Put the pork belly in the bag with the curing solution and work it around to make sure the entire belly is covered on all surfaces.
Seal the bag and put on a baking sheet (to collect any liquid seepage from the bag) and place in the fridge for SEVEN days. Be sure to FLIP the belly over ONCE per day to help evenly cure the whole piece of meat.
After 7 days, remove the belly from the bag and RINSE completely. You want to wash off all of that curing solution from the outside of the belly.
Get your cooker up to a temperature of 180190 degrees (185 is ideal).
Place the belly on your cooker away from the heat source and cook until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
ProTip: Use probe thermometers to better keep track of your cooker and belly's internal temperatures...
Remove from your cooker and loosely cover in foil to allow it to rest.

That's it!! You're done! Now slice it as thin or thick as you like and fry it in a cast iron pan and ENJOY!!
