Slab Bacon

We don't mean to brag, but we think our bacon is as delicious as it gets. Nitrate-free, cured, subtly smoked, and perfectly balanced with savory and sweet, this simple recipe is deserving of a household staple.  This bacon is now only made with pasture raised pork- making it even better! Included is one slab of bacon (approx. 3.5 pounds) To us in the OP household, bacon should have the most basic of flavors. Smoke should be subtle; savory and sweet should be balanced. We coat pork bellies in our cure mixture, being sure to cover every inch, and store them packed in a pan with a tight lid for 10 days of curing.
