I made this bacon last week. It was fabulous! I added some maple syrup as suggested, and my hubby engineered a cold smoker to smoke the bacon. Simply delicious. I may never buy bacon in the shops again.

BTW, i thought you were joking about the whole nipple thing, but when I got the pork bellies home from the butcher one of them actually had a nipple. It cracked me up and totally grossed me out at the same time. Thankfully, hubby removed the rind.

This is the best bacon I’ve ever had!

I added a tbsp of liquid smoke for that smokey flavour…now I’m keen to get a smoker!

Very salty though, I found it necessary to poach in a bit of water before frying to reduce the salt. Works just fine in with beans though.

I would just like to say that “nefarious” is one of my favorite words. Ever.

And this looks FABULOUS. I’m definitely going to give it a try!

Just uttering the word “nipple” grosses my daughter out, to which we tease her endlessly. I’ll be sure to have her read this recipe. LOL It’s a good one to have, so I’ll save this for sure. Thanks for sharing.
