keryia Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So I can't believe I just started Whole 30 and I didn't think much of the bacon I have curing in the fridge *sighs* Once it is done and smoked do you think it would be ok to try it before I cut and freeze it for after the 30 days? It is my first attempt to cure bacon. Unfortunately the brine does contain organic coconut sugar which I don't think is allowed on the whole 30. Any thoughts?

Moderators Tom Denham Posted May 5, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2015 Congrats on making your own! Any added sugar is not allowed during a Whole30, so even a taste of your bacon cannot be on the menu. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andria Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 No, I am sorry, but this would be out for your Whole30 due to the sugar. I know it may not sound as appealing as your home cured bacon, but there a few commercial sugar free, uncured bacon brands on the market. I know of Wellshire and Pedersons. ETA: check the labels not all Wellshire bacon is sugar free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keryia Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Sadly I thought so and this was my very first attempt at bacon....oh well that is what the kid is good for But now I just found this recipie http://paleoleap.com/homemade-bacon/ So I'm off to buy another pork belly this weekend and start it all over again.....the one change I will do is probably to smoke it on the bbq with apple wood first.
