Okay, it has been 48 hours and the bacon has been sliced, taste tested and packaged.
Out of approximately 10.5 pounds of pork belly we ended up with 10- 1/2 pound bags. We
decided to do just 1/2 pound bags since the bacon was sliced real thin and there was a lot of it.
We also had about 3/4 pound of ends for soups, salads and beans. I saved about a 1/4 pound of
bacon to eat in the next few days. 6 pounds is not too bad considering the price of bacon now a days.
The applewood smoke and cider definitely gave the bacon a unique flavor that was outstanding. I
will be doing this one again. Here are some final pictures of my 15 day bacon odyssey.
