Anyone else planning on making some homemade bacon with their pasture-raised #cornfree & #soyfree Yonder Way pork belly this weekend (ordering info here: goo.gl/6URZGe)? Our friend Joshua of Slim Palate (we met him back in May, read more here: goo.gl/roZa4L) is really good friends with Farmer Jason and the whole Yonder Way family. He really embodies the know your farmer mantra - everyone at the farm loves him and has nothing but wonderful things to say about him. Its no secret that Joshua is a huge fan of everything at Yonder Way (click here to see all the recipes on his blog that feature cuts from his favorite local farm: slimpalate/?s=yonder+way). But Im particularly excited to try his recipe for homemade bacon! I typically purchase my bacon from Yonder Way Farm but theirs comes completely uncured and unsalted, in fact it’s simply fresh pork belly. Which technically makes it not actual bacon due to the fact that bacon is a cured and preserved meat. I was completely fine with that for a while because their pork is the best and so incredibly flavorful that it doesn’t really need to be cured. Alas my cravings for salty, piquant porky goodness began to arise so I sought to make my own. The wonderful thing about home cured bacon is that you have complete control over the ingredients that go in it. You don’t have to freak out about using sugar, nitrates or nitrites in your bacon if you choose not to have it because it’s not completely necessary Mainly you don’t have to worry whether or not the ingredients are Paleo of if they’re contaminated with gluten or unsavory ingredients because it’s all coming from you’re own home. slimpalate/homemade-bacon/
