Ok guys next time I talk to mum I shall ask her! Watch this space!

Sorry people it took me so long to get my mum's info - and it isn't very satisfactory either, all she said is cover the piece of fatty meat in salt and keep in the fridge for a couple of days in a dish and covered with another dish. When ready to eat, wash well, dry, cut into slices and fry.
My mum was adamant that people should not try to do it by hanging it in the air and then eat raw (dried and salted only) unless they really know what they are doing, because she said it is a very specialised thing to do and people could get food poisoning if done wrong.
That's all I could get out of her I'm afraid!

I made my own bacon as an experiment a few weeks ago. I cured it for about 6 days and it was far too salty to eat, but it was only a cheap bit of belly pork anyway that I bought to experiment on.
Will definitely try it again though, and will get a decent piece of pork belly next time.0 -
OOOPPPS! This wasn't what I though it was at all. Making bacon means something completely different in darkest Leicestershire:oLife's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.0

Has anyone done this? Hugh FW tells you how to do it in his MEAT book and I am quite tempted as it looks relatively simple. Just get some pork belly and rub it daily with a salt rub (for about a week). Then hang somewhere cold and cut off what you need.
If you have tried this, is it moneysaving (ie cheaper than buying bacon from the butcher) ??0
