Hi
I have just bought some bacon cure from a link on the River Cottage site sausagemaking.org has anyone used this its the smoked flavour one I have never made bacon before & a little nervous, I'm going to order a nice piece of belly from the butchers what sort of weight do I ask for?
also can I then put things like treacle/stout on after this or is this a totally separate cure?

I'd recommend using the cure straight or with suger, you need a baseline result first IMHO to them compare to.

I do about 4-6 kg at a time, and the only really good results (all were nice) I have had is with the sausagemaking.org cure.

You do not need tons of cure just enough to be able to rub in, the process does seem pretty forgiving

I would concur with that. The black treacle would be a different cure altogether.
