- Danny used a salt and brown sugar mix on our bacon to cure it without using nitrates or nitrites. What is the process for curing bacon? How did we smoke it? What did it taste like?

It's like this, "What came 1st, the Cook or the Measuring cup?!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Same way my grandparents did it! Y'all have a great day and God bless.
Grandma's hands
I appreciate the measurements, I came across your video looking for ways to cure bacon myself and you gave me a good starting point. I’m doing multiple three pound batches and I was thinking of using honey for one of them so I’m happy to hear that will work!
How much did you pay for 11 pounds of pork belly
What materials is the smokehouse made of?
Danny, this is the way we cured our beacon when I was growing up in North Louisiana. We always used kosher salt and sometimes sugar. We always let it sit in the salt box for 7 days, pulled it out and washed it in warm water, dried it then smoked it in the smoke house. I commend you for doing it the old fashioned way. I totally enjoy your videos.
That's not the old-fashioned way.
He explained that in the video.
@@rickw7903 it may not be to you but my great grand parents and grandparents did it this way in Louisiana and that is old fashion to me.
@@frederickcrow9303 ...it very well have been the way you're parents and grandparents did it. In that case it's THEIR way of doing it, not THE old-fashioned way. He rightly explained in the video that doing it this way is adequate for modern times because we now have refrigeration - or if one is going to eat it quickly, as opposed to storing it for a long period.
@@rickw7903, everdently you have a problem. I made a statement to Danny commending him. The conversation was not for you. My great grand parents lived during the late 1800's and early 1900's when there was not much refrigeration and this is how we process our pork. It was salted, smoked and left hanging in the smoke house until used. This is how we did it and I occasionally still do since I am older than Danny. Now you have a nice day I will not respond to any more of your comments.
@@frederickcrow9303 ....it takes two to tango. No need to get all upset and bent outta shape about it and be mean spirited.
That's the mix I use half and half brown sugar and salt. it makes great bacon I also use it to cure fish (we live near the ocean in New Zealand) fish I cure for 1 day, bacon 7 days plus, then smoke on my Webber Kettle :) I also do the pig bones for making soups.
Appreciate when you do “farm to table” type videos. Highlights the time and effort that goes into treating food respectfully. The REWARDS are yummy and healthy!
Old hickory knives. Gotta love them.
Mr. Danny I just finished up curing my bacon using your method here and it is the best I have ever had. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wow! What memories this brings back of my Daddy making homemade bacon! Thanks for sharing. I just told my husband I want a smokehouse. 😆 It is Valentine’s Day ♥️ a perfect gift.
Trust Mr get a pelt horizontal smoker instead and will self teach your self with lots of fun and technalical help to make all kinds of stuff you like the way you like it.
Good morning hope you guys are doing well today, you'll never cease to amaze me seems like the older I get the more I want to learn , homesteading I have always had a desire to do my husband not so much but it thrills me to see a man and his wife making wise desitions about the best way to work together , you are both very blessed to have each other ,God bless you from South Carolina .
Sir, I've never seen your channel before, but I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate the way you don't waste. Great video, well done, very similar to what I do as well.
Good morning Wanda and Danny thank you for showing everyone how you cure your bacon with just salt and brown sugar the more natural way without all the other additives 🥓🥓🥓.
Great video, I have 5-6 pounds on the smoker now. Just kosher salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, crushed black pepper and a 1/3 cup of bourbon. Let that go for 24 hours flipping it once... looking good so far, have another couple hours to go.
Crisp morning breeze, birds in song and softly knocking trees, as the smell of a smoker completes the scene. Life is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Yep, laying down bacon, ham and jowl are a tradition for many farms. A good salt and sugar cured smoked ham can't be beat.
The method we used when I worked at the processing plant was to put a layer of the cure in the bottom of a food grade tube then lay in the side meat and jowl, cover it with another layer of cure, and then continue laying in more meat and cure until we had all of the meat from that processing day in the tub, and then put it into the cooler. We did everything else the same as you, other than we were working with the meat from possibly 20 hogs at a time.
Made me smile when you said,people will freak out it you didn't give measurements,my mom was such great cook and would wing it, some people don't like words like,about, pinch,approximately,,,,,when cooking,but my mom had that down to an art. I miss her meals,and her. Thanks for all the things you both teach us.
"This ain't rocket science" over and over ....might as well call everyone stupid. Probably haven't left three negative comments in years of watching UA-cam but you win the prize today.
I don't usually find a channel that I learn new things from, however I have learned some things from you Mr Danny and I thank you for the knowledge. God bless you.- Tiger
First of all let me tell you that your bacon looks wonderful. Second, i thank you so very much for not cutting the video down to make it shorter. I grew up in a small dot on the map called Moon in Southeast Oklahoma. As a kid i helped butcher plenty of hogs, mostly us kids were the scraping crew. Later i helped cut up and make sausage, but i never had the opportunity to be in on the curing process. Ive been watching videos for a while now and let me say that in my opinion your video is by far the most educational. Thank you.
I'm so glad you make these videos because this is going to be a lost art with everyone going to grocery stores.
Hello from Texas Wanda and Danny. You guys just blessed my soul with this back to my roots bacon haul. After I lived this life for so long it hurts my heart to go in the store and pick up almost anything to eat. ( it’s literary junk ) I felt the smoke in your eyes. May God continue to give you guys health and strength to keep on keeping on.
Love these old ways of curing meat, you are a great man on old traditions, yes everything we eat now is processed, and full of chemicals, my hat goes off to you in respect of this, Michael Ireland [Eire]
Thank you so much. This video and information are even more pertinent today, March 26 2024
I wish you could put a book together with all this wonderful info.
I have this gut feeling we will eventually at a point where we will lose knowledge that isn't in print form.
Maybe I'm just a wacky old lady, but I feel it's coming.
Thank you for sharing knowledge
We just finished our third manual. This one is on growing carrots. It's on our Etsy store along with the other two.
Morning Y’all , looks fantastic, thank you for sharing the “ole” ways , I think our grandparents would be proud, thanks Danny !
I've never seen a cook say their product was terrible. It is always wonderful.
Y’all are just a wealth of knowledge! Thanks for all that you share with us! 💞💞
you and Wanda have it made its a lotta work and allot pleasure same time Amen
How did I miss this?
I like your attitude: Don't freak out!
People do freak out over the silliest things.
Calm the heck down and take a deep breath.
Great vid guys! The smoker is awesome! I love your homestead ! It is built so well, neat and so well put together! Love your channel! Enjoy that bacon! 👍
Good morning. Happy Valentines Day. How incredible to be able to make your own Bacon! Yum!!!
Awesome, Im new to making bacon in New Zealand only 6mths into it, and started with no pink salt, but started to use it as thats what everyone is using online, but you have made me want to go back to natural, so after my current batch I will stop with the pink salt. also love your smoke house too
How did it turn out bro
Do you use a smokai? seems they are made in New Zealand.
I love seeing how other folks do their bacon. While we might have some differences we can all agree that homemade bacon is way better than store bought.
I just did a batch using wood from our nectarine tree. I lightly coated the belly with my homemade apple syrup that I make as a binder the coated it with Kosher salt, black pepper and brown sugar. If you can a hold of some nectarine wood try it. No bitterness and super sweet smoky flavor.
Great presentation and good info, so thank you. Me being a Hungarian, was waiting for you to take your first offcut piece, place it on a piece of fresh bread, sprinkle some paprika on it and take a big bite. In Hungary we don't fry smoked bacon, it's considered a cold cut like salami except better.
Reminds me of my German father!
That's my absolute favorite way to smoke bacon! I "accidentally" let it run up to 152 degrees one year and it was amazingly perfect. I'd always cold smoked before that. Just another suggestion for the ones that say it's too salty... you can also soak the slabs in lukewarm water for an hour or so after initial rinse and before smoking. Just re-rinse after soak, let dry really well and smoke. It will pull more salt out. Just can't beat good ol salty home smoked bacon though. Looks so good and perfect, y'all! I don't think you could have made that bacon any prettier!
This reminds of my family so much thank you for sharing. It has been years since all of us butchered ,cut up ,and cure bacon and ham.I was still pretty young at the time. but I wanted to help.
I grew up in the south. Ive been up in the NYC area for the last 22 or so years. I sure do miss it. Having those bbq/smoked bbq days out there with my dad as a young man. Enjoying the nature and peace that the land brings. This man/channel reminds me of being out in MS. Good times. Good channel. God Bless!
Good morning, 🥓 good stuff.
Good morning
Ive been making bacon with the same cure for about 6 years ( Kosher Salt and Brown Sugar)
I started to leave the rind on while curing. This helps not be too salty because after you cut off the rind you eliminate a lot of the surface area that was exposed to the salt.
The next thing is to soak the bacon for at least one hour after its cured. This helps. i also hand run the bacon several times rinsing as I rub the bacon. I havent had bacon that was too salty in many years.
I guess at the salt amount. Well I know from the look but I dont measure.
Fantastic ! This guy is no doubt the bacon's Leonardo da Vinci !
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY YA'LL .. Glad to be here to watch ya'll and learn so much .. I'm new here and starting my tiny homestead videos soon
I really enjoyed watching you do it the old way. I’d love to see you do a ham.
Oh man, that looks amazing! I really wish I lived closer to learn from you both!!
Such an informative video, Danny. Can't wait to do this someday. AND I will watch your smokehouse build video you pinned. I was thinking the whole time I was watching that I wanted to learn more about THAT! This will make such a great addition to our homestead.
Good Morning Danny And Wanda!! Lord That Bacon Looks Good!!! I've Been Using That Very Same Salt/Brown Sugar Recipe For Year's, I've Never Used The Pink Salt. Thank You!!!
I just love you guys! Common sense goes a long long way!
That's some fine looking bacon Mr. Danny and I love your smoke house too!
All the way back to the basics, and I love it. It was also very nice to see your smoker in use after the original video's from when you had originally built it, I enjoyed those, but now I've been able to see you using it so successfully!!!! Love you Guys, your neighbor from Louisianan!
Thank you for posting this. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the step by step from start to finish. Great teaching video.
Well done, fantastic video. Thanks for making this!!
Love it! I have been making my own bacon for a couple years now.. No Nitrates! Soooo easy and so good! Hard to go back to store bought bacon.
Store bought taste nasty after eating real homemade bacon.
That looks beautiful. Thank you for showing us.
It all looks good thanks for your time to share this
Watching this video makes me think of my daddy, he was a mountain man, i really miss him. Thank y'all so much.
Looks great, well done the two of you.
Thank you for sharing your process for curing bacon. I enjoyed the video and learned much!
Got to say this is the first time I ever watched anybody do smoked bacon and it’s really interesting ,as a kid we always raise our own pork and chickens cows +2 Clydesdale horses ..the salt of the farm …did our own milking making our own butter ,it was a chore back then lol, always had an interest in how this was done their was 10 of us back home on the farm , my dad was a hobby Farmer , it kept us six boys off the street corners , we didn’t have much time to play and that’s OK ..it made men out of us and women of 4 my sister’s, Plus the most important thing mom and dad taught us the story of Jesus Christ how that he died on the cross for our sins .you can read about it in John 3:16 we were taught on how to be saved and that is …the most important thing of all..enjoyed your video my friend may God richly bless you and yours .and will see you in heaven some day .. God bless❤❤ PS would have loved to seen a tour of your farm , maybe someday …? your friends up in Canada New Brunswick Google it come and see us
I enjoy all the videos you have shared with us thank you very much and stay safe out there
Ya'll this was great! The more I learn about how to do things myself I realize it's honestly not hard, it's more just a little time and effort to make something so enjoyable. Can't wait to give it a go at my own bacon.
Thank you for showing us how to do this !!!
This was a great informative video. I really enjoy yall's content, and the bacon looked awesome!
Now that a fine video. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Best video I have seen on the whole process. Thanks.
Mr. Danny, you need some goggles 🥽 to wear when you're smoking 🥓!! That bacon looks amazing! God bless 🙏
I made this just to get away from the nitrates and man is this GOOD!!! I didn't cold smoke it though. My hubby is impressed!
THANK YOU SIR!
Glad it worked out for you. Mine was fantastic also.
Please keep teaching us.thank you.
Impressed with your process! My mouth was watering!🤤
Wow!!! What an amazing video and I could almost smell it amd taste it!! Thanks so much for sharing this. It was so educational!! And inspiring!!!💜
Gorgeous bacon. Love it!
I love the recipe that you came up with. I have done this twice. Finished it in my smoker, incredible bacon. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up so I can make some more.
Looks amazingly good my mouth is watering 😋. Thank you for sharing 😊
Good morning,friends! Enjoyed video. Thank you two!
Thanks Danny! Been waiting for this video for a long time, since the smoker build. Working on my Greenhouse now and the smoker next. Looking for a good source of green pork!. God Bless and stay safe.
Absolutely beautiful! Homemade bacon is the only real bacon, totally awesome!
That looks really delicious looks really fresh & clean you can’t get any fresher than this. Thank You
This is an absolutely awesome video!! One of my apple trees just blew over so I think it's time to build a smokehouse and put that wood to good use! And you better believe I'm going to try this no nitrate bacon. It looks beautiful and delicious. Thank you for sharing!
I've never seen home made bacon processing before. Interesting!
We smoke the same but use pork shoulder/Boston butt instead of belly's. Cutting them in half takes out the bone and leaves them thicker. They are leaner, just brine them 8 days and smoke a little longer. Butt's on sale are $1.89 vs $6.00 for belly's. Enjoyed your video. God bless.
Awesome! I loved learning how to do this! Gotta find me some bacon drying racks! Thank-You! ❤
This came out beautiful!!!!
Danny, I just got around to watching this video. I'm so glad I waited. Today was the perfect day. I so enjoyed this. From start to finish like OAG. Like you say, we lost a library. I loved seeing the smoke...hearing the birds chirp and that AMAZING bacon. Thanks for this video. From start to finish...PERFECTION!
Me sitting here trying to blow the smoke out the way for Danny to hang the Bacon 😂😂🤣🙄 thank you so much for the informative video that bacon looks great😍💐
Good job. I'm with you about not using nitrates, etc.
Mr Danny I learned something today ,will put it to practice.thank you so much .god bless you guys.
My WIFE and I live in alaska and have made home bacon for many years and cant stand store bot I think every one should try it thanks great video
Wow that looks so good
Thank you so much for showing us how to prepare Bacon. What Valuable lessons Blessed always may you all be🏡🙏
Excellent video. Many thanks.
Thank you Sir, and a Lady on the background.
I can watch this video 10 times day and never get tired of it. Getting ready to make some more of my own cured bacon then cold smoke it.
Great tutorial, thank you!
Danny, Wanda wow y'all had my mouth watering!! The bacon turned out perfect. I live in an apartment and I wish I could do this. Nothing like home raised food!!
Fantastic !!!
Love this , You have simplified something I couldnt comprehend before to even try....Now I feel more than comfortable !!!.....
Saw this video when you originally posted it, but I had to watch again, and sure enough, it's got my mouth watering 😋 again..ty
Thank you for sharing. A dear friend has offered a great deal on a fine feeder pig this spring, so I have been thinking about this. I don't know if I'll get such a fancy smokehouse built as I have plenty of projects going now.
Good morning Ms Wanda and Mr danny. . Hoping for beautiful productive day to all. Keep smiling.
Love this video. Looks great.
We process pigs each year around Oct -Nov, depending on the weather. The cooler the better (to a point). We don't skin the pig. We process it with skin on, it allows us to use everything and to make more / different cuts of meat. For bacon, we process the belly with the skin, once the salting is complete, that's when we skin the bacon. We wash it, hang it for 24 hours, then we smoke it. You don't need to refrigerate it, BUT we normal do freeze what we don't need right away.
I have used this recipe on my hands and bacon many years ago and I have been longing for that taste every sense
OH this brings back memories. Growing up in Virginia my grandfather and I made our bacon just like this. Smokehouse and everything. He was born in 1910 so he didnt use thermometers or meathooks tho lol. Just judged the meat by color and felt the heat with his hands. And no plastic bags just wooden barrels and tables. He's gone on the glory now but I still make my own bacon and Collard Green pork exactly the same way. For Greens we used more salt and pepper because we made whole pots of greens of course. I live in the city now and my neighbors think Im crazy bringing home whole pork belly from the butcher! 😄
Bacon 🥓 bacon 🥓 bacon 🥓
Lol 😂 that dog treat commercial tune started playing in my head!
@Raisig Roneys LOL, me too. BAAA-konn! BAAA-KONNNN! Have a Great Day :-)!
God Bless all of us who work to make the world a better place.
