How to Make Homemade Bacon from Scratch - Super Easy!
Channel: Fire & Water Cooking
Date: 30/07/2018

This is super easy and if you have a Costco membership, you can get some nice pork belly for like $3.29 a pound! Follow the simple brine recipe from the link to Amazing Ribs below. I actually brined my pork in a vacuum bag which made it super easy. I just flipped it every 2 days in the fridge. Make sure you brine for at least 7 days and then Just a couple hours in the smoker after the cure and you are golden! 

Maple Bacon Recipe (my favorite)
Makes. About 75 thick slices, about 100 ppm nitrites
Takes. 30 minutes prep, about 3 days of curing, about 2 hours of smoking.
Ingredients
3 pounds of unsliced pork belly about 1 1/2" thick and 6 to 8 " wide across the grain to make slicing easy and to make sure it fits in the frying pan
4 1/2 teaspoons Morton's kosher salt
4 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 cup dark maple syrup
3/4 cup distilled water
1/2 teaspoon Prague Powder #1
About the maple syrup. I use real maple syrup in this recipe, but it is expensive. The darker grades have more flavor. If you wish, you can use Steens Cane Sugar, pancake syrup, sorghum, honey, Lyle's Golden Syrup, or molasses.
Scaling. If you scale up, be sure to count the maple syrup as liquid so this recipe has 1.25 cups of liquid.
