But tell myself "It's not TOO salty."<br />Smoking is -s-u-c-h- a lovely trick. Flavor! I hope you get a chance to try.

I normally cure for 3/4 days max since it will be going in the freezer, and that is as salty as I want it.<br /><br />Never done the smoking thing though, and this does need to be rectified. I've been offered the use of a friend's smoker - a Heath Robinson affair made from their decommissioned 'ty bach' (Welsh for outside loo!)J-in-Waleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390582364341730481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-2994923195656198262009-07-24T17:41:21.488-07:002009-07-24T17:41:21.488-07:00I see!
