Can I omit the sugar from the bacon recipes on the site’s recipe section? Does the sugar need to be there as part of the cure? I will be using plaque powder #1 as directed, and plan to use the basic cure recipe Meathead presents.
EDIT: I just mixed the simple bacon recipe but without the brown sugar, as we are on a no added sugar kick for the month due to Whole 30. Let me know if the sugar is required, and I’ll add it to the bags and mix things up. I had a 5.5 pound pork belly and just cut it in half and am doing two pieces in two bags at the moment.
