Mmmm bacon.... Part 2

I have decided to use the maple syrup option for my 1st attempt.

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup maple syrup

Having reviewed the comments at Curious Kai I decided to premix the cure in the bag.

I also decided that I would store the belly in a clip lock container to prevent any spill issues.

Into the fridge with it and I will see how it looks tomorrow.
