I went on www.sausagemaking.org and got all the details, equipment, recipies etc. Bacon is sooooo easy if you've the inclination - you need a loin or belly of pork (boned), some of the ready mixed bacon cure - 30gms per kg, rub it in, wrap in cling film & into a plastic bag, into the fridge, leave a day per 1/2 inch thickness, + 2 days (so about 6 days for belly/streaky) turning every other day, wash off, hang to dry for a day, slice, eat - you'll never buy that wet shop stuff again. Itsybitsy PS the sausages were yummy too but need a bit more equipment Back to top Knobby Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 6707 Location: North Warwickshire Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2006 7:37 am    Post subject: Im tempted to order a sausage making kit myself !

I originally noticed it in the River Cottage Family Cookbook... Hey, I thought, if kids can do it, it should be easy enough for me And (sound of foot steps running upstairs to check...) he also covers it in Meat too!

He cooked it for a couple who served it to their unwitting friends @ their baby's naming ceremony !!!! the friends said it was very nice - until they found out what it was His nickname is Hugh Fearlessly Eatitall though - so he may have eaten his wife's too !
