    Grump

    Mine went off ... I think either my gear wasn't properly clean or there was some cabbage above the brine surface exposed to the air.

    It's like an old Italian nonna once told me about making mozzarella: one in six goes wrong ... And there's just no explanation for it

    Pancetta...work in progress!

    Brining is a good way to get the salt %age just right assuming you can make a brine accurately.

    Dry curing is the business but can be difficult to cure the meat without too much saltiness

    I've done two tests on pork belly's I had in the freezer from the last pigs I had done earlier this year.

    Trimmed.


    Option 1 finished.


    Both ready for the fridge.


    Option 1.
    sea/rock salt
    brown sugar
    garlic
    nutmeg
    cracked pepper
    bay leaves
    fresh thyme

    Option 2.
    10+ manuka honey
    sea/rock salt
    pod star anise
    cinnamon
    cracked pepper
    nutmeg

    Both trimmed and rubbed and in bags in fridge.

    John

    Can you confirm when you put it in the fridge? Do I do that now or during the drying stage?

    @sako243, put it in the fridge straight after bagging it...turn twice daily and leave in fridge for five days...on the fifth day if it feels still a bit spongy leave it for another day or two...then proceed with washing off the mix and re peppering...either leave it in the fridge for maturing or hang up in the safe if you have one...
