I've made pancetta, and it's lovely :T When we get our pig back from the butcher, we're planning to wet cure a leg.

I'll add this to the existing thread on making bacon so that you can see what others have done

What an interesting thread!

I had no idea you could make your bacon out of a peice of belly pork and with such simple 'rubs' if you don't use the saltpeter..

Next time we visit the butchers I think we will get an extra peice of belly pork and try it. We do not really have anywhere warm and dry to hang it but hearing that it can all be done in the fridge was really inspiring.

Thank you all

I'm all inspired now - I think I've gone from making bacon 'one day' to making bacon very soon indeed. HM bacon sarnies here I come! :j
