Did you follow the instructions that came with the mix Lloyd? I used Franco's mix and it was perfect, not too salty at all. I don't remember exactly now as it was a while ago but it involved leaving the bacon in a plastic bag in the fridge, don't remember much else now.

Instructions didn't come with mine, (but I bought through another party). Having freshened the bacon with several rinses of water it's now succulent and hardly salty at all. Very Happy

Back in the fridge now, ready for family consumption.

Glad you managed to get it right. Very Happy

When I did our bacon I had loads, you know how much meat comes with a whole pig! And it occurred to me whilst making it that if the cure didn't work it would be one hell of a waste, I should have practiced with a small piece of meat first. But lucky for me it turned out well.
