Hi everyone,
I am curing some bacon today. This is probably a silly question.
My belly pork has a shelf life of August 9th on it.
Today is the 5th if Iam curing the belly to smoke for bacon, does the shelf life make any difference?
Also how much longer does the meat last after the curing & smoking process?
I have done this before and sometimes it last a few days and other a couple of weeks.
I guess I am wondering if there is a way of knowing as I am guessing with the dares so far.
Thank you all.
