Written by Steve Lamb guides you through the process for making your own bacon.
What you will need is a decent sized pork belly, equal half & half measures of demerara sugar and salt, a handful of crushed bay leaves and a handful of bruised juniper berries.
Sprinkle the mixture across a tray, place the pork belly on top and then sprinkle another handful of the mixture on top.
Cover with a tea towel and keep in the fridge for five days, repeating the curing process every day.
Finally leave for another 5 days in the fridge and you will, according to Steve Lamb, enjoy the best bacon you have ever had! Just slice it off as you need it.
