How To: Make Your Own Bacon

How To: Make Your Own Bacon

Paleo/Primal/Crossfit folks rejoice! We're teaching you how to make your own bacon. If you think bacon is deserving of it's own food group or you were unaware of how it's made or where it comes from, then you're about to learn. And when you make it yourself  you can avoid nasty preservatives that do who-knows-what to your insides.

First things first, really good bacon is made from really good pork belly, which we happen to sell in the freezer section- it has nice distinct layers of meat and fat. If we do not have the smoked salt in, the grocery department can order it for you or you can increase the sea salt.

Booze? Check. Ice Cream? Check. Candy? Check. All the makings for a party, really. You could, of course, make these with a really gingery ginger-ale and it would be just as tasty, but we opted for a true ginger beer called Crabbie's. We also recommend using local vanilla ice cream from Sticky Fingers Farm when you can get your hands on it. And the addition of chopped candied ginger adds an extra zing that can't be beat. It'll be your new favorite summer summer treat!
