Title: First Dry Cure Bacon Advise needed
Post by: mrpercysnodgrass on February 24, 2020, 06:35:25 pm
Hi all. I am in the process of making my first dry cure bacon using Stephen Lambs book(River Cottage) for guidance.
I have got to day nine of ten for a 1.3Kg piece of loin with the skin and bones still in.
My question to you is, I still have a little moisture in the bottom of the tub at the end of the day when i go to drain and re-apply the cure. Is this normal and should I go onto washing, drying and hanging tomorrow or should I keep re-applying the cure until no more liquid comes out?
Regards.
