Our two large black pigs will be going to the slaughterhouse in a couple of months time, one for pork and the other for bacon. This time round, we would like to have a try at making our own bacon, rather than have the slaughterhouse/butcher do it for us. But we don't have the facilities to deal with a complete pig all at once. Does anyone out there have any experience of freezing the meat, defrosting it a bit at a time and making bacon in more manageable lots.
Does freezing beforehand affect the process of making bacon or alter the taste?
