Now you're here. What recipe do you use for curing your own bacon? Thinking of having a go at it as the local butcher has some nice looking belly pork in.

30g of salt per kilo of bacon, I also add about 10g of sugar and some pepper as well.
Rub the cure all over and place in a plastic bag for 5 days, ensure to keep turning the bacon every day. After 5 days, wash the cure off and leave to "air dry" for 2 days in the fridge, I usually put it in a baking tray with no covering.
If you have a vac pac system the curing process only takes 2 days.
Enjoy!
