Miss Molly 1.1 / Pyjama Party 1.0
I reworked the sugar-to-salt ratio for the Molly and PJ curing mixtures, and cut the curing time by a day and a half.
Result: relatively unsatisfactory.
I think I also needed to leave the bacon uncovered in the fridge overnight to form a pellicle before smoking it (which I did, the first time I made them).
As it was, the flavour is a little too subtle for my liking; next time, we’ll be going for the full cure-and-dry before smoking.
Drool.

Drool x3. the bacon was excellent – Not enough, but excellent. Nicely smoked, too, although bacon can never be smoked enough! Need more… (please)
