    • Recipe Description:

    Easy, homemade bacon without the long curing time or hard to pronounce chemicals. A simple overnight marinade is all that it takes!

    Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1 lb pastured pork belly, fresh and uncured
  • 1 TBS unrefined sea salt
  • 1 TBS organic apple cider vinegar
  • 1 TBS maple syrup, honey, sucanat or palm sugar
  • 1 tsp organic molasses
  • Optional: Spices of your choice, such as black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, etc.

    • Recipe Instructions:

    Your pork belly may come as one whole piece, or for convenience, you can ask your butcher to slice it for you. Slip the whole piece of belly into a large zip-lock bag, or a shallow glass container.

    In a small bowl, combine all the the ingredients together. It will have a paste-like consistency.

    Smear the paste all over the pork belly or slices with your hands, or if using the bag, dump the paste into the bag, and use the bag to help smear the paste all over the meat.

    Place the pork belly into the fridge and let sit overnight. By morning, your bacon will be ready to enjoy for breakfast. If your pork belly was not pre-sliced for you, use a sharp knife to slice pieces off as thick as you like.

    Fry bacon slices slowly in a cast iron pan over low-medium heat. Be careful not to use high heat because the sugar in the bacon may burn.
