    What i did was to add spices and aromatic dried veggies to enhance the flavor, after about 1-2 months the pork has flavor, and the salt begins to crystalize from the water from the pork. That salt is so damn flavourful i think is comparable to msg, I say use raw materials from Italian seasoning and possibly add some cumin and pepper, basically nothing is wasted and it tastes amazing.

    Oh man Steve...I grew up on that stuff with my 'memere' in Quebec...My gramma...she would slice that up in sheets and fry it up in a pan with rind and it was like heaven sent from heaven snack for us kids...the rind was like jerky to us we chewed on that for hours..salty and so good. Sure brought back memories for me ya did

      Its a big part of history here as some Acadian pockets survived the deportation and they use salt pork there:)

    Lack of refrigeration is why my mother always burnt everything she cooked. When she was a little girl they had no fridge, just an icebox. Her mother learning from her mother always cooked the heck out of everything, just in case. All meat was well done and vegetables were boiled till they were bland

    Growing up my father would butcher a hog in late fall every year and we always made a few slabs of salt pork. Done exactly this way. Ours was put in the attic in a box to cure where it was kept cold until needed. On weekends dad would send one of us kids into the attic and grab a piece to fry up for breakfast. We also used it when cooking dry beans. This video reminded me of some good days. Getting ready to make some myself.

    salt pork and salt cod cant beat it. I learned it from my late Uncle who learned it from one of his colleagues at University. I worked in a restaurant once and the Greeks make their Rue with butter instead of bacon fat. Another thing to try is to use Himalayan salt works really well and gives it a little something extra.

    I never had homemade salt pork, but the pork I had was dried and had crystals of salt on it. Sometimes you see brand name salt pork in the store and it doesnt look a thing like what I ate growing up. My family also would purchase salt herring that they kept in a cool dark place. Once I married, my Italian MIL made me aware of salted cod - Baccala. Its a great way to preserve meat, especially for an emergency and also for excursions where refrigeration just isnt available. When I was a kid - a while back, lol - people would fry up the pork rind for babies to teethe on. We ate it with grits for breakfast and ate it in sandwiches. You make it look so simple to make too.

      Hi Laurie
      Salt cod , pork and so many other meats are not mass produced like the old way I shown. I see the salt pork sold in stores and it looks like it's made using a brine that is much easier to do in large volume but it's not the same as a dry salt method. This is so easy to do , give it a try.

    I grew up on the Canadian border in Vermont in the US and we made and used salt pork. I now live in Scotland and they have never heard of salt pork so I have got to make my own, which is how I found your channel.
    My Mom used it making her baked beans, she used it in her canned green beans (it took me many years to be able to eat green beans without salt pork in it after she passed as we lost her recipe in a house fire and I have never been able to find anyone who knows the recipe to make it). She would slice it thin and fry it until crispy, making a roux gravy with the rendered pork fat and add the crispy pieces of salt pork back to the gravy to have over biscuits for breakfast, and she would cook kale and collard greens with the salt pork. I loved when she fried it crispy, leaving the skin/rind on as it got crunchy. She would chop in small pieces and fry until golden and crispy to add to salads (green salads, potato salads, etc) and would use the rendered down bfat to fry up some croutons for the green salad. And when the pork fat has been rendered down, it makes the best fried potatoes! She would even use it to sprinkle over pea soup, to add to different soups at the start, and so on. It was a staple in our house.
    My Father and Grandfather always made the salt pork in a brine in a huge old crockery pot but I never got to see him make it so have been searching for a recipe. Their brined salt pork was not refrigerated, it was kept in our root cellar, which was always cool in the summer and cold in the winter, but not freezing as we also kept all the canned jars of food in the root cellar also. I always found salt pork to be far tastier than bacon.
    I have never had the dry cured salt pork and your “recipe” is so easy that I am going to give it a go. Is it really okay to use the belly pork that has been frozen (obviously thawed first) or must it be fresh, ie never frozen? I ask as I have some belly pork in the freezer and can start it today but if not, then I need to order some from the butcher. Thanks so much for your tutorial! I am looking forward to trying it and also experimenting adding some herbs and spices in with the salt also. Thanks again! ❤

    We do use a lot of salt pork here in Newfoundland especially the salt pork bits that they call scrunchions. they use them for what they call fish and brews. Fish and brews is basically hard bread that has been boiled and drained then they fry onions in the rendered pork fat as well as well when they cook the hard bread they also soak for and hour and then drain the salt cod bits and then add the cod and everything else into a pot or large bowl and the serve it with drawn butter. Look up Bonitas Kitchen and she makes them right in her video. It may not be the healthiest, but oh man it's the tastiest.

    I am from south Louisiana...the REAL south Louisiana, not freakin' Baton Rouge. I'm from Morgan City, and I have to drive north to get to south Louisiana. Salted and pickled pork were two dietary staples I grew up with, and till routinely cook with today.
    The problem is that I can't get good...or even mediocre salt pork anymore. The products from the major meat packing houses are little more than a joke and grossly overpriced at that. Pork fat and rind covered in brine. If you get a magnifying glass you might convince yourself that you can see some meat. So you have to make your own.
    My grandparents kept their "salt meat" in 30 or 40 gallon ceramic crocks kept in the coolest places available. There was no problem having meat year round despite the extreme temperatures and humidity.
    There's quite a bit more to be said, but not enough time or space. In any case, try my corn soup with salt meat. You'll forever after spend quite a bit of time trying to find decent salt meat.

    Why does it have to be kept in the freezer ?
    Can it be stored without refrigeration, atleast short term like a week or so?

    • @SteveRobReviews
      @SteveRobReviews  3 роки тому +1

      Yes your correct but I could never eat all that in such a short time plus I don't know how people are going to store it so it's best to recommend refrigeration.

    With the EQUILIBRIUM method you CANNOT over salt the meat.
    Convert green weight of meat to grams, multiple by .03, answer is the required weight of salt (regardless of variety) for the percentage of salinity. ** if using Cure #1(max allowable limit 150ppm) general rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon per 5 pounds meat. TIP..., for color retention only #1 cure can be reduced by half (75ppm)...., add cure salt then remainder salt weight to mixture.

    Just tried salt pork with a can of baked beans, it was a horrible failure. I made the mistake of only soaking it for 3 hours and i thought that would be good enough since I changed the water 4 times. The food was way too salty to even try and eat, going to try again but let it soak for at least 24 hours next time!

    • @SteveRobReviews
      @SteveRobReviews  9 місяців тому +2

      LOL , ok this is what you do , rince as before but this time you slice it into strips then you take a fry pan and put enough water and milk in to simmer the pork for 10 minutes , discard the water and then let the strips cool down on paper towel and then fry it. The trick is to put milk in the water just enough that it's turned all white. Not full on rolling boil but a nice simmer .

      Good question. Refrigeration is best if you have it because it's kept cool . Back in the day they made this in the fall of the year not in the summer heat . Quality and taste will deteriorate in high heat so since I have a fridge I use it.

      You can use whatever salt you like but regular ionized salt is not the same as Kosher . No refrigeration only applied to specific times and of course temperature. I would not try leaving it out in 90 % temps as salt curing does have its limitations and so does the human body :)

      Okra and Saltfish
      recipe 1lb okra
      4 tablespoon Veg Oil
      1 medium onion
      3 cloves garlic
      1 tomato
      1/4 teaspoon black pepper
      1 cup salted fish *
      1/2 scotch bonnet pepper
      Notes: I used salted cod but you can use your fav type of saltfish. Since the flakes of salted fish will still contain some salt, you may not need to add any salt to the dish. However do taste near the end of cooking and adjust accordingly. Remember when working with scotch bonnet (and any hot pepper) that most of the raw heat is in the seeds and white membrane surrounding the seeds. Discard if you’re concerned about the heat. Cooking okra like this uses a lot of oil, so I used a non stick pan to help cut back on the amount of oil I needed.
