Cracklin Pork Belly
Cracklin Pork Belly
I prepped the skin by scoring and salting, now it's air drying.
I also scored the bottom and applied my pork rub.
After air drying in the fridge for about 20 hours.
It went into the smoker with Cherry at 275°.
I've it on a rack steaming over apple juice.
Here in a few it'll go into a 475° oven to transform the skin into cracklins.

Out of the smoker after 2 hours at 275°
And into a 475° oven until the skin puffs into delicious cracklins.
And it was in the final couple minutes of that process that I got distracted and burnt the top of them.
So like burnt toast I tried to save them by scraping the layer of char off and trimming the sides and was somewhat rewarded with some pretty fair cracklin pork belly.
Not bad for almost ruining it.

My taste buds are smiling, but my arteries are screaming, "No-no-no-no."

Moderation is just for those who can't handle excess. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Enough is enough, and too much is just right.

Yesterday I caught a Smooth Puffer fish in the surf. Looked sort of like a northern puffer or Blowfish which are great to eat. But then I researched it and "7. Are smooth back puffer fish...
Which are DO NOT EAT fish?
