Instructions
- Spread honey evenly over pork belly, then coat with the pepper.
- Spread the salt generously over the entire slab.
- Place into a re-sealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 3 days.
- After three days have passed, remove the pork from the brine, rinse the belly, and pat dry with paper towels. Lay on a rack over a sheet pan and place in front of a fan for 1 hour to form a pellicle.
- Lay the pork in the protein box of a cold smoker and smoke for 4 to 6 hours.
- Chill the meat in the freezer for 1 hour to stiffen for easy slicing into strips of bacon.
- Slice what you need and keep the remainder in a freezer safe bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Place the strips of bacon onto a sheet pan fitted with a rack and place into a cold oven.
- Turn the oven to 400 degrees and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your bacon.
- Remove from rack and drain on paper towels. Enjoy.
