Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the salt and sugar. Rub the pork belly slices with some of the salt and sugar mixture.
- Spread a layer of the sugar and salt mixture on the bottom of a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel container. Place a layer of pork belly slices on top.
- Sprinkle the pork slices with a little more of the salt and sugar mixture.
- Add another layer of pork slices and then the salt-sugar mixture.
- Continue adding layers of pork belly slices, sprinkling each layer with the salt and sugar mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate. The salt pork will be cured and ready to use in two days. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to a year (it is still safe to eat after this, but the flavor declines).
- To use, rinse off the salt pork slices. Pat them dry with a paper towel or clean cloth.
- Cut into cubes or small strips.
- Cook over low heat until most of the fat is rendered out.
- Sauté a chopped onion in the rendered salt pork fat, and you're well on your way to making great chowder.
- Enjoy.

HOW TO "DRY-BRINE" PORK CHOPS
Seeing the juicy pork chops in my friend Jennifer Yu's blog post (Use Real Butter) inspired this recipe, which features one of my favorite getting-meat-ready-for-the-grill techniques of all time. If you can call sprinkling salt on pork chops a technique. As long as you don't horribly overcook your meat, this 'dry-brine' technique will produce the juiciest and most flavorful pork chops you've ever had.

Steps:
- Mix kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl to make the dry brine. Generously apply mixture to both sides of pork chops. Transfer chops to a rack on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate uncovered 18 to 24 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium or medium-high heat. Brush pork chops on each side with a few drops of vegetable oil.
- Grill chops until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F (60 degrees C), turning to evenly brown on each side. Transfer to platter and allow to rest 5 minutes.

Steps:
- To make the brine, dissolve the salt and sugar in 1 gallon of warm water in a large bowl. In a mortar, slightly crush juniper and allspice berries and the peppercorns along with the bay leaves and herbs; add to the brine. When the brine is cool, add pork chops and completely submerge, putting weights on top of a plate if necessary. Refrigerate for at least 2 days and up to 3 days.
- To prepare the chops, remove from the brine about 2 hours before cooking and dry with paper towels. Rub them with a bit of olive oil and pepper. (You may also perfume the meat at this point with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, placed on top of and beneath the chops). Allow the chops to come to room temperature.
- Grill the chops (partly covered if possible to control flaming) over medium-hot coals about 5 to 7 minutes a side, or fry 3 at a time in 2 preheated heavy-bottomed skillets over medium-high heat. Place them on a warm platter and cover loosely with foil. Allow them to rest about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt if needed.

SALT CURED PORK CHOPS
I was never a fan of pork chops until I tried this recipe which has become a family favorite. These chops are not only simple to make but turn out moist and tender every time. Although the process takes time the physical preparation is very minimal and very easy to do. This recipe is based on approximately 3/4 inch chops, with thicker chops I increase the cure time and thinner chops would be decreased. Feel free to add any dried herbs or spices to the cure, I just use black pepper. I store any leftover cure in sealed container and put it in the freezer.
