How to make bacon at home.

We start preparing the lard by cutting off the skin and, if the pig was slaughtered recently, send the cleaned lard to a cool place - let it ripen for 1-2 days.

Take a clean wooden box and line it with parchment paper. Place the paper so that it hangs over the edges of the box. Place the pickling box on wooden blocks so that there is air access from below.

Cover the bottom of the container covered with paper with a layer of salt. Place pieces of ripened lard on the salt, having previously sprinkled them with salt. Fill all the cavities that have formed between the pieces of lard and the walls of the box with salt. Cover the top layer of lard with salt as well.

Wrap the paper that hangs from the sides over the workpiece. You should not close the box with a lid so that the lard can “breathe” freely.

Keep the product in a cool place for at least 14 days - only after that it will be ready for use.
