Bacon, candy for adults

After removing the pork shoulders this morning I put the one item I have been looking most forward to smoking, a pork belly!!

Last week we got in a beautiful pork belly in and after trimming the little that needed to come off we cured it for 6 days in a white/brown sugar, kosher/curing salt, maple syrup and some black pepper,   then rinsed and soaked it in cold water to wash off the excess salt and cure.  It went in the smoker a little while ago and I will let you know in the next post how it turned out but I have to tell you I am pretty excited so I will post as soon as it comes out!!!
