Posting a little bit of everything today. I have been staying pretty busy between the start of hunting season and work. I hope you see something you like.

ventreche, very nice!!!
smoked or dry?

 

[Pork Belly]

All the stuff that looks raw is cured, it is now hanging in my basement sump pump room. 55 degrees and 70% humidity.

I hope you see something you like.

I appreciate your humility, but anyone would be insane to not like everything you posted!  Great-looking meat, Brian!

Just curious, did you cure the ribs or have a recipe for cured ribs?

 

[Pork Belly]

Haven't cured ribs I don't imagine it would be worthwhile. You need a 30% weight loss to be ready to eat. Cured ribs would be pretty tough.

John had a post of some cured ribs, from a place in PA.  Can you find that, John?  They may not have actually been cured, but sure looked like it.  I thought the same thing, Brian, but it seems someone found a way to do it!  Probably more "jerky-like" than rib-like, though.

 

[jcboxlot]

Yes here is a picture, no recipe though. 

They were good, def a bite to get through them, but the butcher shop had them laying out on the counter and not cooled.


I grilled them for a quick flash for a dinner. 

They do beef and pork spares this way.

Worth the trip if in the area, bring CASH, no CC taken.  Old school!

Well I'm a little tired, I am confusing CURED and DRY CURED. The meat in that picture appears to be cured like ham or bacon. How was the texture?

 

[jcboxlot]

Not quite jerky like.  Either eat cold or warm on the grill and its just like ribs would taste.  Bite though

 

[BedouinBob]

Brian, that just looks fantastic! Nice work!
