What can I say I like to experiment with meat.  In preparation of my family visiting during Christmas I made some more bacon.  It is quite amazing how easy it is to share homemade bacon. I tried two different cure flavorings this time.  The ole standby of brown sugar and molasses was made along with a honey, ginger and cardamom.  Unfortunately the honey, ginger and cardamom portion of the batch did not have a very strong flavoring.  I will have to tinker with adding the flavors earlier into the curing process.

    AAAAAA…All I want to for Christmas is bacon!!!

    You guys missed some spread at Thanksgiving. I sure could have used some HOMEMADE BACON though.

    Hope you guys are having a lovely holiday season. I just ordered Martha’s Christmas b/c of Carrie’s glowing review.
