Bought all the pork jowl Kroger had in the case last week and started curing. 9 days in and we're ready for smoke!

Meat candy right there. That is some of the most tender meat I have ever eaten with a great texture. :wav: :wav:

Thanks folks! I used some for the beans with the ribs this evening.
These turned out really well! Mixed 50/50 salt and brown sugar and smoked with white oak.

You'll not regret it! Can't really eat them like beef cheeks though; a bit on the fatty and rich side. They do make for excellent bacon. Guanciale, (pronounced- gwan cha lee).
