This year's haul. More to learn: this time we used the Amber Creek recipe (no nitrates!) and smoked it in the BBQ. Smoked it a bit too long, and took a bit too much fat off, alas.

The finished bacon. This happened to be one of the fattier pieces, but we tried it and was a-maz-ing!

After 11 days of sitting in a curing mix of salt and sugar, the sides of bacon were ready to be finished. Ad cooked them in the oven at 90°C for 2 hours, then put them in our smokehouse for another 2 hours, using apple wood chips. It was the first use since he built it. The meat was from our own pigs.
