Homemade Bacon
Ingredients:
1 lb. side pork (frozen)
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
2 tsp. salt or to taste
1 tsp. ground black pepper
Directions:
Using a very sharp knife, trim the rind off of the frozen side pork leaving as much fat as possible. Thaw until it is easy to separate the slices. Place side pork in a deep dish and pour in the maple syrup, salt and pepper. Coat the side pork with the syrup mixture well and let it marinade over night, turning once. Cook on low heat in a large skillet for atleast 20 minutes or until done. This is a great way to make bacon free of nitrates and flavored to your specific tastes instead of having it too salty or too sweet!
