That sounds amazing. I would eat it all too quickly, and then regret ever making it.

Thanks for remembering, Tom... but actually what i prepared was "Buckboard Bacon", made from the shoulder of the pig which is 90% meat as opposed to the 90% fat in belly bacon.

This is not technically "bacon", either - no nitrates! If you want the real bacon color, flavor, and long shelf life you need the addition of nitrates to the salt. This is the difference between salt pork and bacon. I just this week had a BLT made from bacon 9 months old (unfrozen), i would not try that with bacon that was just salt cured.

This bacon will only last about two weeks. I specifically didn't want any nitrates in it. It is just salt and sugar cured.
