Homemade Bacon is one of the most popular of recent trending foods in the world. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. It is simple, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. They’re nice and they look wonderful. Homemade Bacon is something which I’ve loved my whole life.
To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook homemade bacon using 9 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Homemade Bacon:
- Make ready Raw Pork Belly
- Take Brine
- Get Water
- Get BBQ Seasoning
- Prepare Morton's Curing Salt
- Prepare Brown Sugar
- Take Cracked Peppercorns
- Make ready Apple Juice
- Make ready Maple Syrup
Instructions to make Homemade Bacon:
- Start by bringing the water to a boil. Then add the curing salt, brown sugar, black peppercorns & BBQ seasoning to the water for a few minutes while maintaining the boil.
- Add the apple juice & maple syrup in with the rest of the ingredients & keep on the boil for a few minutes longer.
- After the brine is done cooking make sure to add ice to allow it to cool. The brine must be completely cooled or you will boil the meat in the brine which takes flavor out of the meat & affects the outcome of the bacon.
- Place the belly in the brine and add it to the fridge for 7-14 days. Take out of the brine & pat it dry then let sit in the fridge for 4-10 hours.
- Then I place the bacon into my smoker at 125 for 1 1/2 hours. This step is key because without adding smoke to the meat it's not considered bacon. The traditionally used woods are hickory & apple wood.
